[email protected]These fritters were a great way to use up some overripe bananas. They were really tasty and I loved the crispy coating.

[email protected]I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my fritters turned out really oily. I think I might have used too much oil. Other than that, they were still pretty good.

[email protected]I had a hard time getting the batter to stick to the bananas. I ended up having to use a toothpick to hold them together. Other than that, they were delicious.

[email protected]These fritters were a little too sweet for my taste. I think I would reduce the amount of sugar in the batter next time. Otherwise, they were very good.
