Yum! I used 4 bananas only because I needed to use them up. I was originally gonna make bread until I came upon this great recipe. My kids call them banana bites! We sprinkle powder sugar on them.

This is delicious! Found it to be a bit time consuming but worth it! I waited to heat the oil once the dough was ready, next time I'll heat the oil while preparing the dough. I used a sauce pan with 6 cups of oil, but they kept sticking to the bottom. We just lifted them up gently and that was fine, but wondering if that is normal or if there is a way to prevent that! Thanks for the recipe! AWESOME flavor!

I LOVE these! I did substitute whole wheat flour and guava nectar instead of sugar...a little healthier. So very delicious!!

Just like my exes mother used to make :D om nom I used wholemeal flour, mixed the baking soda with some vinegar because i didn't have baking powder, and eyeballed the liquid because of the wholemeal flour. Oh and i made them as pancakes. I will def be making this again. It is part of my recipes now. Thank you! :D

Pretty easy. This taste kinda like my moms called 'cekocok' or something like that. It is easier to use a tablespoon size cookie scooper and cut down the recipe because it makes alot (that's if you are using tablespoon size).

These are delicious. I opted to not deep fry them, and instead made them into a version of pancakes on the griddle. They are so good. They are quite sweet and could probably be made with less sugar. Will probably make these again and again.

I have never made any sort of fried dough and found this recipe to try. It was amazingly easy and beyond delicious! I posted photos to my facebook of them and several ppl asked for the recipe based on looks alone! If they only knew how tasty it is!! You do not need 6 cups of oil. I used a large frying pan and filled it about half way...that was plenty...just flip them over when they appeared to be golden. I sprinkled mine with cinnamon sugar when they came out mmm TIP: don't cover them up until they have completely cooled! Otherwise, they just become soggy.

My family loved these. My mother didn't put banana in mine as a child, so this was a fun change! The banana flavor isn't overwhelming. Definitely don't make these a scant 1/4 cup, they will never cook in the middle before the outside burns. A TBS or scant TBS is better -- you'll get 35 to 40 almost golf-ball sized panikeke. That was too much for my family of 5, and they aren't as good the next day so I would keep that in mind and reduce your recipe if you need to. Thanks for the recipe!
