Ingredients

  • Fritters
  • • 2 cups flour
  • • 2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar
  • • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • • Pinch sea salt
  • • Small pinch baking soda
  • • 3 ripe bananas, mashed
  • • 1/2 cup smooth organic peanut butter
  • • 2/3 cup milk
  • • 1 egg
  • • Peanut or Canola oil, for deep frying
  • Chocolate Sauce
  • 1/2 cup dark chocolate chunks
  • 1/2 cup whipping cream
  • 1 cup water, for double boiler

Preparation

Step 1

To make the fritters: Combine the flour, sugar, and baking powder in a bowl and mix. Add the bananas, peanut butter, milk, and egg and whisk until the consistency is such that it can be balled up in a spoon. In a medium sauce pan, heat the peanut oil to 375 degrees F. Using a teaspoon, delicately spoon the peanut-butter-banana batter into the oil, a few balls at a time and deep fry until they fluff up and become crispy and golden brown, about 5 minutes. Strain on wire rack.

Step 2

To make the chocolate sauce: In a pot, bring a cup of water to a simmer. Add a large metal bowl over top of the pot. In the metal bowl, add the chocolate chunks and whipping cream, then whisk until it melts together.

Step 3

Generously drizzle the chocolate sauce over the fritters and serve.
