Ingredients for Banana Dumplings

  • 2 ripe bananas, mashed
  • Flour
  • Milk
  • Sugar
  • Egg
  • Baking Powder
  • Vegetable Oil

How to Make Banana Dumplings

  1. In a large bowl, mash the bananas until mostly smooth but with some texture remaining.
  2. Add the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Mix well to combine.
  3. Gently stir in the milk until a thick batter forms. Do not overmix.
  4. Heat about 1 inch of oil in a large skillet or pot over medium-high heat.
  5. Once the oil is hot (a small piece of batter should sizzle immediately), carefully drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil.
  6. Fry the dumplings for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
  7. Remove the dumplings from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
  8. Serve warm and enjoy! You can dust with powdered sugar or serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra treat.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
