A banana fritter is a popular snack or dessert made by deep-frying battered bananas. The bananas are typically sliced or mashed and mixed with a simple batter made from flour, sugar, and sometimes milk or eggs. Once coated, the banana pieces are fried until golden brown and crispy on the outside. These fritters are often served hot and can be enjoyed plain or dusted with powdered sugar. They may also be accompanied by sauces like chocolate or caramel. Banana fritters are enjoyed in various cultures, with each region adding its unique twist to the recipe.
