Banana Fritters

Submitted by animal lover

"I was craving apple fritters but wasn't able to get to the donut shop. So I looked around to find on hand ingredients to satisfy my craving. I didn't have apples, but I had some very nice ripe bananas. That's when I came up with these. You won't be disappointed. They look kind of ugly at first, but taste delicious! I'll never go back to a donut shop for fritters again. (I tried left over pineapple and grated apple too, they were also good.)""

These are yummy, TRUE! Used low fat milk, raw sugar too! Skipped confectioners sugar, think fat-free/sugar free jam might be best for me Used ALOT less oil...is a GREAT recipe!
