Prepare the Batter

  2. In a separate large bowl, combine flour, brown sugar, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix gently until just combined, then fold in chopped bananas.
Heat Oil
  1. In a large pot or deep skillet, pour in enough vegetable oil to reach a depth of 2 inches and heat over medium-high heat to 350°F.
  2. To test, drop a small amount of batter into the oil; it should bubble and rise.
Fry Fritters
  1. Carefully drop spoonfuls of the banana batter into the hot oil and fry in batches for 4-5 minutes.
  2. Turn them halfway through until golden brown on both sides; transfer to a plate lined with paper towels.
Make Glaze
  1. Mix powdered sugar, milk, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon until smooth; adjust thickness with more milk if needed.
