Banana and Peanut Fritters
This is a dessert / snack recipe. I can't really say how traditional these banana and peanut
fritters are, but I couldn't resist making them when I found them in a
booklet of Ugandan recipes. They were relatively easy to make, and
quite delicious. The lack of sugar in the recipe means that all the
sweetness comes from the bananas, make sure they are ripe! The crunch
of the peanuts gave the fritters a great texture.
They are best eaten while still warm, when the banana is soft. While not traditional, I ate mine with whipped cream. They would probably be good with powdered sugar as well.
