About the Ingredients for Easy Fried Banana Bites
Bananas – You want to use just ripe bananas or even slightly green bananas. Over-ripe bananas will get mushy and hard to work with.
Pancake mix – Use the type of pancake mix that requires the addition of eggs and milk. Avoid using the “just add water!” type of mix.
Milk – Use any type of milk that you prefer. Room temperature milk is best as it will help the batter come together better.
Eggs – Use room temperature eggs for the best results.
Powdered sugar – For dusting.
Oil – Vegetable oil or any other neutral flavoured oil with a high smoke point.
Vanilla – For a little extra sweetness to the batter you can add in a splash of vanilla extract.

Can this be made without the use of the egg?
I don’t like using eggs so, I swap for 1/3 apple sauce, mayo, and my favorite, sour cream I like the way that it works with this recipe
yummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmy
I tried this i am not an cook but I am still learning 50 years old an starting learning and enjoy cooking. I didn’t have powder sugar so I didn’t use it but I sprinkled sugar on it , it was pretty good I am trying make snacks and dinner for later to help roommate ( adopted sister) out so she don’t have cook
Can this be done in an air fryer?
No, unfortunately an air fryer can’t solidify the wet batter fast enough to give the same result as oil frying
.
@Liz Lampman, thank you. I just posted the question again forgetting I had already asked.
Is this made using pancake mix that requires the addition of milk and eggs, or the “just add water” complete kind of pancake mix? I ask because I was just wondering if the egg and milk could be omitted from the recipe, If using the complete type of mix?
Yes, using the mix that requires the addition of milk and eggs. If you use the kind that requires only water, you would need to use a bit less than called for to make a thicker batter.
Can you use over ripped bananas?
No, your bananas need to be firm, almost green.
How would this work in an air fryer?
Try these with bananna pudding!
Can these be frozen for later
I haven’t tried. You should be able to though as both the batter and bananas freeze well.
