Hello! Welcome to dontmissmyplate.

Thank you for visiting the website! I'm Maxine, blogger, home cook, soon to be food entrepreneur, and lover of all things food and fusion cuisine (a style of cooking that combines ingredients and methods from different countries, regions, or cultures). My approach is primarily rooted in both a Zimbabwean and American perspective based on my life experiences, making it quite varied. I hope you find the website helpful and come back! There is something for everyone, and recipes are designed to inspire you to try something new.

Jun 25 Cinnamon Sugar Banana Fritters

African-Inspired, Dessert, Caribbean-Inspired

My memory of banana fritters is from when dessert was rolled out, typically on Friday afternoon, if I was staying late at junior school. You had the option to ladle them with warm custard or smother them with jam.

Banana fritters are eaten across the African continent and the Caribbean with a variation in ingredients, as well as other cultures. Given that bananas make the top 5 most eaten fruits in the world, like dough, it is no wonder everyone found a way to fry them up!
