Yummy fluffy Banana Fritters made in under an hour from start to finish. So good, you’ll want to have this for breakfast, snack time, or dessert. The perfect way to use up overripe bananas!

I am continuing to share my love for epic breakfast recipes with my recipe for the very best Banana Fritters.

They are soft, fluffy, and sweet but not overwhelmingly sweet (no added sugar!). AND the banana flavor in these fritters is ah-mazing.

After sharing my mother’s Savory French Toast, I think it is time for a little something sweet.

It happens every now and then. There are bananas on the countertop that are neglected and no one eats them. Then they quickly go from ripe to overripe and can’t be enjoyed as they are anymore.

BUT when bananas get overripe, I get excited because overripe bananas yield great flavor to banana recipes. Like this banana bread which I have made over and over again and can now make in my sleep. Or this banana puff puff which is a cousin to banana fritters – YUM!

And now, banana fritters!! These are SO EASY to whip up. The flavor they yield is incredible. The first thing to note with this recipe is to make sure you make the fritters with overripe bananas.

Fairly ripe bananas won’t cut it here. If the bananas are so ripe that they have developed black spots and some parts of the banana are mushy on the inside, then my friend, you have the perfect bananas for some banana fritters!
