Step 1

Peel the bananas and cut each banana in about 10 chunks.

Step 2

For the batter, combine the flour, baking powder, and sugar. Add the plant-based milk and sparkling water and whisk together. If you dip a banana chunk into the batter, the batter should stick to the banana. Add more water if it's too thick. Add more flour if it's too runny.

Step 3

Heat the frying oil in a pot (just enough so that the banana fritters can swim in the oil). Fry each banana chunk dipped in the batter for about 1-2 minutes - until golden and crispy. If they brown too quickly, then your oil is too hot, reduce the heat a bit.

Step 4

Transfer them to a paper towel to remove excess oil.

Step 5

Put all the banana fritters in a large bowl, add the maple syrup and toss to coat them all. Sprinkle the banana fritters with sesame seeds and enjoy!
