Why overripe bananas?

Who loves those spotty, ugly soft ripe bananas lying on your kitchen counter for days. Well I can say that I am not that person. We make smoothies a lot; we tend to have bunch of bananas with varying degrees of ripeness on the counter. This leaves us with a steady supply of bananas for smoothies. I tend to leave a few for over ripening to make desserts. hehe.. 😉

I love soft ripe bananas only when they are transformed into a delicious cake or even better these FRITTERS, and believe me no matter how ugly these ripe bananas look, desserts made with them are simply delicious. You just can’t resist. TRUE! 

Since we are talking about over ripe bananas, here is one easy and delicious Moist Banana Loaf with Raisins, Walnuts and Chocolate Chips.

Just recently, I had made this Nutella Swirled {Chocolate Chunk} Peanut Butter Banana ONE Skillet Cake , a super delicious cake with all the peanut butter and nutella and chocolate chunks goodness in it. And the best part is everything mashed-mixed and baked in one single skillet. How amazing is that! 

These Banana and Coconut Fritters (Kolar Bora) are simply extra-ordinary!  I learned to make these fritters from Maa. 

I remember devouring these babies down warm within few minutes of frying. These banana and coconut fritters used to taste amazing.

The flavours of banana, coconut and cardamom powder all blend in together so well. Adding cardamom powder in the banana-coconut batter just takes it to the next level. And as you are frying your kitchen and your house will smell divine! 🙂
