I have a few recipes already bookmarked, as you can see, one of which I decided to make for breakfast Sunday morning. Something about banana fritters sounded so good to me, especially the part about dipping them in fruit preserves. The batter came together easily, and they cooked up quickly…a lot like pancakes. My husband and kids literally gobbled them up. I highly recommend that you use pastry flour for a recipe like this. Here’s a tip if you can’t find any (like I sometimes can’t)…process your regular whole wheat flour in a food processor. It will give it a finer texture and will keep your recipe from becoming too dense. I chose to use light vanilla soymilk in the recipe, as well as adding a few tablespoons of ground flaxmeal to the batter for some extra nutrition. My husband and I dipped ours in peach preserves while the kids at theirs dipped in maple syrup.
So before I get to the recipe…let me tell you a little more about the giveaway. All you have to do is leave a comment here on my blog for a chance to win your own copy of The Vegetarian Family Cookbook. Nava will personally send an inscribed copy of her cookbook to the giveaway winner.
Here’s a little bonus…my sister in law Jamie of Mom’s Cooking Club is also giving away this cookbook. Go over to her blog and increase your odds of winning by entering her giveaway too!
Giveaway starts today and will end at midnight Tuesday. Winner will be announced Wednesday.
For an additional entry into the giveaway you can do one or both of the following:

Leave an additional comment here telling me you did one of the things listed above and that additional comment will count as your additional entry. Sound good?
Recipe from The Vegetarian Family Cookbook, Nava Atlas
2 ripe bananas, well mashed
1 cup whole wheat pastry flour
pinch cinnamon
pinch nutmeg
1/2 cup dark raisins, optional
1 cup low-fat milk, rice milk or soy milk
2 TB nonhydrogenated margarine
Maple syrup or all fruit preserves, optional
Combine all the ingredients except the maple syrup in a mixing bowl and stir until just smoothly blended. Add a bit more milk if the mixture is too thick.
Heat a nonstick griddle and coat lightly with some of the margarine (I used cooking spray). Drop the batter on the griddle in 1/4 cupfuls. Cook each fritter over medium heat on both sides until golden brown. Serve hot, either on its own or with maple syrup or all fruit preserves.
Variation: Add 1/3 to 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans to the batter.

I used to be a vegetarian, and I am always looking of great ways to incorporate meatless dishes into my weekly meal plan!

These look great! I'm wondering what makes these different than pancakes? Is it the type of flour you use?

I am definitely in the camp that sits down and reads a cookbook. Glad to know there are others like me
I love the idea of a family-friendly vegetarian cookbook. I would like to incorporate more vegetarian meals in our menu, but some of them seem either too complicated, include hard to find ingredients, or just don't sound good.

I think I will give these fritters a try. My pancakes are always a disaster, perhaps these will be better. I will retweet about the contest.
Thanks

Beignets de Banana! I fried tons of those when my girls were young. And of course, apple fritters, a French classic, too. Delicious
