Banana Fritters
Servings: 6 Yield: 12 fritters Prep 15 mins Freeze 10 mins Bake 425°F 7 mins

Ingredients

  • Nonstick cooking spray
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour, divided
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 bananas, peeled and cut into 12 diagonal slices
  • 1/2 cup sparkling water
  • 2 egg whites
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 tablespoon powdered sugar

Make It

1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Coat 12 2 1/2-inch muffin cups with cooking spray; set aside. In a medium bowl stir together 1/4 cup of the flour and the cinnamon. Add banana pieces and toss to coat (you may not use all of the flour mixture). Transfer banana pieces to a plate or tray and freeze for 10 minutes.

2. Add the remaining 1/2 cup flour to another medium bowl. Slowly whisk in the sparkling water until fully incorporated. Whisk in the egg whites, vanilla, and granulated sugar until you have a smooth batter.

3. Add the banana pieces, one at a time to the batter, turning to coat. Using a spoon, spoon the banana pieces and some of the batter into the prepared muffin cups. Spoon any remaining batter evenly over the banana pieces.

4. Bake for 7 minutes or until batter is set. Invert the muffin cups over a tray to remove the fritters. Sprinkle with powdered sugar and serve warm.
