Directions
Preheat oven to 400°F. Coat a baking sheet with cooking spray.
Whisk cornmeal, flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon and chipotle (or cayenne) in a medium bowl.
Mix banana, egg and milk (or buttermilk) in another medium bowl.
Add the cornmeal mixture to the banana mixture and stir until just incorporated.
Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.
Reduce heat to medium; using 2 tablespoons of batter for each, space 5 fritters evenly in the pan.
Cook until golden brown, 30 seconds to 2 minutes per side.
Transfer to the prepared baking sheet.
Cook a second batch with the remaining oil and batter, adjusting heat to prevent burning.
Transfer the fritters to the oven and bake until puffed and firm to the touch, 8 to 10 minutes.
