Oh, my goodness have I got a banana recipe for you! Banana beignets. Ever heard of them? I hadn’t until Maranda at Jolts & Jollies made them and then I couldn’t stop thinking about them. I never blog about a recipe the same day I make it but these, oh, I couldn’t keep these from you a moment longer. I also wanna apologize for the less than stellar photos but I had the kids gathered around me wanting to eat them hot and I’m still trying to figure out my camera’s manual setting.
A coupla notes about the recipe. Besides being insanely delicious(the beignets) the batter is super easy to make. BUT I’m not gonna lie, I needed another pair of hands once I started frying. You could go it alone but I found things went smoother once I called in reinforcements. Another thing, your first coupla beignets aren’t going to look like much but that’s okay ‘cause they’re gonna taste just as good as the pretty ones. The pretty ones? Those will be the last few batches you make as you get the hang of things. The recipe called for rolling the beignets in cinnamon sugar but I only did half of them and used powdered sugar on the other half. (The kids were all over the powdered sugar ones.) Almost done and I’ll let you can get to makin’ these for yourself. The recipe calls for banana extract. If you have it, use it and really kick up the banana goodness! :)

Oh my. Rolling them in powdered sugar?!?!? Why didn't I think of that????? I guess I'm going to have to make them again so I can try them that way! Yum!!! I'm so glad you all enjoyed them!!!
OH, must try!
I originally thought I'd like them in the cinnamon sugar, because that's my "thing" but the look of those in the powdered sugar look so GOOD. I bet they just melted in your mouth. I'll eat these if you come over and make them for me?

I've never met a beignet I didn't like! Those sound unbeLIEVable. (And why are you apologizing for those photos? They look so great! Have you been practicing? Can you teach me?!)
Definitely yes to the powdered sugar ones. So did you use a deep fryer or just oil in one of your pots? Just wondering, but either way, they sound delicious.
These sound addicting Ingrid! And so delicious. I love that you wasted no time on baking my cake! Let me know how it turns out.
I need to come eat at your house! My daughter (and the rest of my family!) would love these. Beignets are one of Anya's favorite foods!
Mmm--looking good, beignets! I'd also be curious to know whether you used a deep pryer or the stovetop for this!
Did I hear someone call my name? I love banana beignets!! Though I've havn't had one in years... Good excuse to make them now!
You had me at banana. But then add beignets...and I'm drooling.
There isn't much better than fried dough..right?! Especially with bananas thrown into the mix...yummm
Uh, banana lover right here!! This sounds delish.
Sorry, I don't live close enough to join the "reinforcement team".
I'm here as a "banana lover"!!!! Man o man do these look goooood! Of course all the kiddos around you were biting at the bit to eat them! :-)
Yeah, I want to go home and make these today!!
I actually might not share these with my kidlet..hah aha
You had me at banana!!!!!!!!!
I drooled over these beauties at Maranda's and now I'm drooling over them again over here. Maranda is a genius for putting these together! They look absolutely delicious!
you vixen! how dare you tempt me so? your kids can have the powdered sugar batch, i want me some cinnamon sugar!! :)
I think blondies are harder than pie!
Pass over the remaining cinnamon ones to me. I'd gladly eat them all, though I'd hate myself later.
I love beigets! Never tried banana flavor though ~ sounds yummy, yummy, yummy!!!
OMG those look heavenly, yum!!
Oh ingrid those look delicious!
I also love beigets and bananas.
Thanks!
Get Off Your Butt and BAKE!
They sound delish! And they look so cute! I do love bananas.
I can so visualize you making these and your kids standing around you- though I have no idea what you look like. I just know my kids would go totally crazy over these.
These look delicious!! I especially like that you put them in a paper bag. It reminds me of something you'd get at the fair! This recipe would be so perfect for a kids birthday party or an outdoor BBQ! So creative!
These are new to me and wow do they sound amazing! I'm going to look for banana extract!
Hi Ingrid, Stopped by to say thanks for trying my cake! So happy you all liked it. Have a great weekend!
These remind me of what Ed made on Top Chef this week - but you did it first! I can't wait to try them
These sounds absolutely amazing! I will definitely have to try these!
I think that batter-covered hand is called claw-hand, and yup, reinforcements are necessary for such things.
I never deepfry things, so I don't really know the joy of making things like this at home. I guess I have to start though!
looks yummy
OMG. And here I thought I was going to have to make more banana bread! :)
Fabulous, Ingrid!
My kids love these little drop donuts. I've never made them with bananas, that would be a big hit.
Mimi
I would gobble a bunch of these right up - they look addicting!
Gettin' in my old jeepy and comin' on over. These look irresistible!!
Okay, I'm a banana fanatic and I love it! Wowee....I could stuff a few of those down the hatch :)
who DOESN'T love bananas and fried dough! this sounds delicious! really making me wish I had some bananas to throw these together right now!
I've had banana's on the brain lately and these are over the top!
I enjoyed my first beignet in North Carolina earlier this year. It was soooo good! I'm sure these are great. I need to call in the hubby to help me with these. I'm terrified of hot oil.
Pure yumminess! I love bananas and beignets.
Hope you're doing well!
Wow! I am loving these little treats.
I don't care if they look good or not. I just want to eat them!
My Deven would love these! He is a banana bread freak so this would be right up his alley. You are cooking up a storm and your photos are wonderful! How are you doing now that school is back in sesson? We have been back since the 7th and I think I can finally breathe today, it has been a whirl-wind and I miss all my bloggie friends. Have a super day Ingrid!
Yum...yum...yum...I love anything banana and these definitely need to be on my list asap. Although, those mini oreo cheesecake photos on your banner are calling my name.
I made these yesterday. Holy wow!! They were incredible!!
