2/3 cup milk (at room temperature).
03 -
1 tablespoon unsalted butter (melted).
04 -
1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
05 -
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour.
06 -
2 tablespoons brown sugar.
07 -
2 teaspoons baking powder.
08 -
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon.
09 -
1/4 teaspoon salt.
10 -
3 ripe bananas (chopped).

Vegetable oil (for frying).

2 cups powdered sugar.

1/3 cup milk.

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract.

1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon.
# Instructions:
01 -
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined. Set aside.
02 -
In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, brown sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.
03 -
Fold chopped bananas into the batter until evenly distributed.
04 -
Place a large pot over medium-high heat. Add enough vegetable oil to reach 2 inches depth in the pot. Heat the oil to 350°F (175°C).
05 -
Using a small cookie scoop or tablespoon, carefully drop 3-4 scoops of fritter dough into the hot oil. Fry for 4-5 minutes, flipping occasionally, until the fritters are golden brown on all sides.
06 -
Remove the fritters from the oil using a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel-lined tray to drain excess oil. Repeat until all the batter is used.
07 -
Once the fritters have cooled, prepare the glaze by whisking together powdered sugar, milk, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon in a medium mixing bowl until smooth.
08 -
Dip each cooled fritter into the glaze, ensuring it’s fully coated. Place glazed fritters on a wire rack set over a baking sheet to let any excess glaze drip off.
