This simple Jamaican desert is spiked with cinnamon and nutmeg and counter balanced with a kick from cayenne peppers. Toasted black and white sesame seeds add an extra layer of nuttiness to this easy dish. We love pan frying them for a healthier version to the traditional fried fritters and love eating these as for a breakfast or snack as well.

Tips:

Use ripe bananas for a sweeter flavor and softer texture.
If you don't have self-rising flour, you can make your own by adding 1 teaspoon of baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon of salt to all-purpose flour.
Be careful not to overmix the batter, as this will make the fritters tough.
Drop the batter by rounded tablespoons into the hot oil, being careful not to overcrowd the pan.
Fry the fritters until they are golden brown on all sides, about 2-3 minutes per side.
Drain the fritters on paper towels before serving.
Serve the fritters hot with your favorite dipping sauce, such as honey, maple syrup, or chocolate sauce.
