Having fallen in love with the banana fritters I wolfed down at the Adelaide Night Noodle Markets, I felt compelled to make a healthy alternative which I could consume on a daily basis at home. I admit I am using the term ‘fritters’ here rather loosely as these bananas are coated in cinnamon and vanilla extract rather than oil, but they still have that delicious cooked-banana texture and taste even better with a drizzle of honey yoghurt.

Serves 2

Ingredients:

2 x ripe bananas (not overly ripe, but avoid any green on the peel)

1 tsp cinnamon

2 tsp vanilla extract

Extra cinnamon and honey yoghurt to serve (Paris Creek organic and biodynamic bush honey yoghurt goes perfectly)

Method:

1. Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat, or if you don’t have a non-stick frying pan just use a spray of canola oil in any regular pan.

2. Peel bananas and slice in half lengthways. Place bananas in the frying pan and drizzle over the vanilla extract and cinnamon.

3. After 2-3 minutes, flip over the bananas. The cooked side should be golden brown and soft. After another 2-3 minutes, remove the bananas from the frying pan and serve with extra cinnamon and honey yoghurt, enjoy 🙂
