If there was ever a “best” way to use up ripe bananas, this might be it! These Nourish PA fritters are a delightful fried snack or dessert – gently sweet, lightly fried and dusted with a touch of sugar.
We suggest serving them with a drizzle of honey or maple syrup for complimenting natural sweetness.
