Chef's tips
Use very ripe bananas with brown spots for the best natural sweetness and a soft, moist texture.
Storage
Best eaten the day they're made; store loosely covered at room temperature up to 1 day.
Reheating
Reheat briefly in a toaster oven to re-crisp.
Common mistakes to avoid
- •Using underripe bananas, which makes the fritters bland
- •Frying in oil that is not hot enough, making the fritters greasy and soggy
