Serve as a side, snack or appetizer. Savory, smoky and slightly sweet - plus only 30 minutes start to finish! From my local newspaper which always publishes the greatest recipes! *Chipotle peppers are dried, smoked jalapeño peppers. The ground chipotle used in this recipe can be found in the Mexican/Spanish food section of your supermarket - or possibly in the spice section. This would make a great vegetarian meal served with black bean soup, coleslaw or crusty whole-grain bread.

Time 30m

Yield 10 Fritters, 5 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

3/4 cup yellow cornmeal
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4-1/2 teaspoon ground chipotle chile pepper (or cayenne pepper)
1 1/4 cups bananas, mashed (about 3 medium)
1 large egg
2 tablespoons milk or 2 tablespoons buttermilk
2 tablespoons canola oil, divided
cooking spray

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400°F, and coat a baking sheet with cooking spray.
  • Whisk dry ingredients in a medium bowl;*Use only the 1/4 t chipotle if you don't want much heat; using cayenne will not give the same smoky flavor.
  • In another medium bowl mix the banana, egg and milk; stir in the cornmeal mixture just until mixed (don't overdo).
  • Heat 1 T oil in nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, then REDUCE heat to medium; Using about 2 T of batter, drop and space 5 fritters in the pan; Cook until golden brown, 30 seconds to 2 minutes per side.
  • Transfer to the baking sheet and using the remaining oil make the rest of the fritters - Be sure to CHECK AND ADJUST your heat to prevent burning.
  • Place the baking sheet with all the fritters into the oven and bake till they PUFF and get firm to touch, about 8 to 10 minutes.
  • *To make these to serve later: complete the baking, refrigerate and reheat at 350°F for 15-20 minutes.
  • *To use as an appetizer, top with creme fraiche. Yummy!

I followed the recipe exactly and my fritters turned out too greasy. I think I would use less oil next time.

These fritters were a bit bland for my taste. I think I would add some spices next time.

These fritters were delicious! I was hesitant to try them because I'm not a big fan of bananas, but I'm glad I did. The bananas added a subtle sweetness that was perfect with the corn.

I love fritters and these were no exception. The banana and corn were a great combo and the fritters were crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. I would definitely make these again.
