Calling All Banana Lovers!

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!!!

Heather Baird said...

OH, must try!

Monica H said...

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?!)

oneordinaryday said...

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.

Reeni said...

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.

Cristine said...

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!

Lucie said...

Mmm--looking good, beignets! I'd also be curious to know whether you used a deep pryer or the stovetop for this!

Paris Pastry said...

Uh, banana lover right here!! This sounds delish.

Sorry, I don't live close enough to join the "reinforcement team".

Avril said...

Val said...

Julie M. said...

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!

grace said...

The Blonde Duck said...

I think blondies are harder than pie!

Unknown said...

Pass over the remaining cinnamon ones to me. I'd gladly eat them all, though I'd hate myself later.

Me and My Pink Mixer said...

They sound delish! And they look so cute! I do love bananas.

Lori said...

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.

Chelsea @ sprinklesofparsley.com said...

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!

Faith said...

These are new to me and wow do they sound amazing! I'm going to look for banana extract!

Reeni said...

Hi Ingrid, Stopped by to say thanks for trying my cake! So happy you all liked it. Have a great weekend!

Crepes of Wrath said...

These remind me of what Ed made on Top Chef this week - but you did it first! I can't wait to try them

Smitten Sugar said...

These sounds absolutely amazing! I will definitely have to try these!

kimberleyblue said...

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!

Kristen said...

looks yummy

Barbara said...

OMG. And here I thought I was going to have to make more banana bread! :)
Fabulous, Ingrid!

Mimi said...

My kids love these little drop donuts. I've never made them with bananas, that would be a big hit.

Kerstin said...

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 :)

Stephanie said...

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!

Megan said...

I've had banana's on the brain lately and these are over the top!

Keeley said...

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.

Lorie said...

Pure yumminess! I love bananas and beignets.

The Blonde Duck said...

Hope you're doing well!

Velva said...

Wow! I am loving these little treats.

Hilary said...

I don't care if they look good or not. I just want to eat them!

Robin said...

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!

Rachel said...

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.

Liss said...

I made these yesterday. Holy wow!! They were incredible!!
