AIP Banana Coconut Fritters (Vegan, low-FODMAP)

AIP Banana Coconut Fritters (Vegan, low-FODMAP)


A fun alternative to pancakes, these AIP Banana Coconut Fritters are perfect for breakfast, as an afternoon snack, or a warm dessert topped with coconut ice cream.

Inspired by Jamaican banana fritters, these paleo banana fritters are first baked then lightly fried in coconut oil. Coconut flour is used to bind together the mashed banana (also, no added sweeteners), making the fritters gluten-free, vegan, and Whole30 compliant.

Ingredients for AIP Banana Cinnamon Fritters:

  • Bananas
  • Coconut flour
  • Coconut oil
  • Cinnamon
  • Sea salt
  • Vanilla powder (optional)

RECOMMENDATIONS

  • Keep the fritters small (about 1 to 1.5 tbsp) and be sure to bake the batter first before frying. These two steps help keep the fritters intact and in one piece.
  • If following low-FODMAP, make sure the bananas aren’t ripe (should have a little green still showing in the peel) – learn more here.
  • Try topping them with a little Maldon sea salt (delicious!)
  • Fritters are best served warm. If there are any leftovers, store in an air-tight container in the fridge for up to 3 and reheat on the stovetop.
