Low FODMAP Golden Banana Fritters
These easy low FODMAP banana fritters are little bites of heaven. I love that these fritters have a golden, slightly chewy outside and a deliciously soft inside. They are sweet mouthfuls of banana goodness that you’ll want to devour straight out of the pan.
Note on banana ripeness: We used bananas that were firm and just yellow with no brown spots for this recipe. This ripeness level is considered low FODMAP - avoid using bananas that have brown spots. If you use bananas that are slightly greener, then you might find you need to add a little more sugar to the recipe.

Method
- Mash the banana in a large bowl (we use a potato masher to do this), then stir through the vanilla, brown sugar, nutmeg, cinnamon, baking powder, salt and flour until well combined.
- Heat a large non-stick frypan over medium-low heat. Add half of the oil. Carefully drop spoonfuls of batter onto the pan using a tablespoon measure (ours was a 15ml tablespoon). Once one side is golden and little bubbles are appearing on the top, flip each fritter and cook the other side until golden brown.
- Remove the golden fritters from the pan and place on a paper towel to drain. Repeat the above step and add more oil to the pan as needed, until all the batter is used. Enjoy!
Buying Tips
When choosing bananas make sure you select common bananas. Then use the bananas when they are firm (green to just yellow) and then become high FODMAP when they are ripe (have brown spots).
Buy a gluten free plain flour or gluten free all purpose flour. The one we used contains these ingredients: maize starch, rice flour, tapioca starch, rice bran, & guar gum. Avoid flour blends that contain soy flour, chickpea/besan/gram/garbanzo bean flour, lentil flour, coconut flour, amaranth flour, or lupin flour.
