Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 30 servings

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour

  • 1 tablespoon baking powder

  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • 4 very ripe bananas

  • ¾ cup white sugar

  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract

  • 1 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon

  • 2 cups oil for frying, or as needed

  • 1 tablespoon confectioners' sugar

Directions

  1. Combine flour, baking powder, and salt in a bowl. Mash bananas, sugar, vanilla extract, and cinnamon together in a separate bowl. Stir flour mixture into banana mixture until batter is well mixed.

  2. Pour 2 inches of oil into a heavy pot and heat over medium heat.

  3. Working in batches, drop batter by the tablespoon into hot oil; cook until lightly golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer banana balls to a paper towel-lined plate to drain and cool slightly. Dust banana balls with confectioners' sugar.
