How to Make Banana Latkes

  1. Mash 2 ripe bananas in a medium bowl.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs and 2 large egg whites until light and frothy.
  3. Stir in 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon into the egg mixture.
  4. Gently fold the mashed bananas into the egg mixture until just combined.
  5. Add 1 cup of matzo meal and stir until a thick batter forms. Let the batter rest for 5 minutes to allow the matzo meal to absorb the liquid.
  6. Lightly spray a griddle or large frying pan with cooking spray and heat over medium heat.
  7. Spoon 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot griddle for each latke.
  8. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Flip when the edges begin to look set and bubbles appear on the surface.
  9. Serve immediately with your favorite toppings, such as sour cream, applesauce, or a sprinkle of powdered sugar.
