Mashed overripe bananas engulfed with other ingredients like sugar and flour and then air fried to brown are called banana fritters.
Equipment
- Air Fryer
Ingredients
- 3 bananas (ripe to overripe)
- 3/4 cup whole wheat flour
- 2 tbsp rice flour (optional but recommended for crispness)
- 2 tbsp sugar of your choice (we added brown sugar)
- 1/4 tsp cinnamon powder
- Pinch of salt
- 1/2 tsp Vanilla essence
- 1/4 tsp baking soda
- Oil for greasing butter paper
- Powdered sugar for dusting (we added bura sugar)
Instructions
- Arrange a butter paper in the air fryer basket with small holes in the paper all over.
- Grease the butter paper very well.
- Take bananas in a bowl.
- Mash them very well.
- Add rice flour, cinnamon powder, salt, sugar and vanilla essence.
- Give them a good mix.
- Now start adding whole wheat flour, but little at a time.
- Keep adding the flour and keep mixing.
- Add the flour until the mashed bananas turn into a thick paste. To reach the desired consistency, we needed to add 3/4 of flour.
- In the meantime, pre-heat the air fryer @180°C for 5 minutes.
- Add baking soda into the paste and give a good mix.
- Using a greased spoon or ice cream scoop, drop a dollop of banana paste in the air fryer basket, but keeping a distance between each dollop.

- Once done, take them out and likewise make the second batch.
- Dust some powdered sugar over the fritters.
- Banana fritters are ready. Enjoy.
Notes
After making 2 batches of banana fritters in Air Fryer, we were left with the paste of only 2 fritters, so tried them in oven. They took 20 minutes in pre-heated oven @180°C.
