Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients

2 ripe bananas (medium-large) Bananas ripe, peeled and sliced
1 cup Muesli plain or with nuts/seeds, no added sugar preferred
1 tbsp Cocoa powder optional, for mild chocolatey flavour
2 tbsp Honey or jaggery syrup / date syrup for Indian sweetener substitute
1/4 tsp Salt just a pinch, balances sweetness
Ghee or butter (or light oil) for greasing/skillet frying

Equipment

Flat skillet or nonstick frying pan

Method

Peel and slice the bananas into rounds or long slanted pieces, as per your preference.
In a bowl, mix muesli, cocoa powder (if using), honey and salt. Stir well so the honey coats the muesli evenly. This will form a sticky coating mixture.
Dip each banana slice into the muesli mixture, pressing gently so the muesli sticks to the banana surface on all sides.
Heat a flat skillet or nonstick pan over medium heat and grease lightly with ghee or butter (or a little oil).
Place the coated banana slices on the hot pan. Cook for about 2–3 minutes on one side, until the muesli coating turns golden brown and holds. Flip gently and cook the other side for another 2–3 minutes.
Once both sides are golden and crisp, transfer the fritters to a plate. Let cool briefly for 1–2 minutes — they crisp up a bit more as they cool.
Serve warm. You can drizzle a little extra honey or date syrup on top, or enjoy as is with tea or a glass of milk.

Notes

Using muesli instead of refined flour adds fiber, nuts/seeds, and complex carbs — making fritters more nutritious. Pan-frying instead of deep-frying reduces oil intake and keeps it lighter. Ideal as a quick snack or after-school treat.
