Whisk the flour, baking powder, salt and caster sugar in a bowl.
Mash the bananas and beat in the egg, vanilla extract and milk until smooth.
Stir the banana mixture into the dry ingredients to make a thick, scoopable batter.
Heat the sunflower oil in a deep pan to 170°C. Fry heaped teaspoons of batter in batches for 3–4 minutes, turning carefully, until puffed and golden.
Lift out with a slotted spoon, drain on kitchen paper and roll in a little caster sugar while warm.
Notes
Take care when working with hot oil. Drain the doughnut balls well and enjoy them warm.
