Picture this: You’re craving something utterly divine on a lazy afternoon, and suddenly, these heavenly Salted Caramel Banana Fritters pop into your mind. Y’all, I’m about to share my grandmother’s secret recipe that’ll make your taste buds dance with joy! 💃
Let me tell you, these aren’t your average fritters. These babies are crispy on the outside, pillowy soft on the inside, and drizzled with a homemade salted caramel sauce that’ll make you weak in the knees. Trust me, honey, once you try these, there’s no going back!
Here’s what you’ll need:
– 3 ripe bananas (the spottier, the better!)
– 1½ cups all-purpose flour
– 2 tablespoons brown sugar
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1 teaspoon cinnamon
– ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
– 1 egg
– ¾ cup milk
– Oil for frying
For the salted caramel sauce:
– 1 cup granulated sugar
– 6 tablespoons butter
– ½ cup heavy cream
– 1 teaspoon sea salt
Now, let’s get cooking! (And if you’re loving this recipe already, make sure to follow me on NewsBreak for more mouth-watering recipes that’ll make your family think you’ve been secretly taking culinary classes! 😉)
Instructions:
1. Mash those bananas like they owe you money! Mix in the egg, vanilla, and milk.
2. In another bowl, combine flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
3. Fold the wet ingredients into the dry mixture. Don’t overmix – we’re making fritters, not rubber bands!
For the sauce (this is where the magic happens):
1. Melt sugar in a saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly
2. Once golden brown, add butter (careful, it’ll bubble!)
3. Slowly pour in cream, add salt, and stir until smooth
Heat your oil to 350°F (or drop a tiny bit of batter in – if it sizzles, you’re good to go!). Drop spoonfuls of batter and fry until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes each side.
Pro tip: While they’re still hot, drizzle that liquid gold caramel sauce all over them. I won’t judge if you lick your fingers – we’ve all been there! 🤭
Y’all, these fritters are perfect for those afternoons when you need something special to brighten your day. They’re even better shared with friends over coffee and gossip!
