Ingredients
| 2 броя | banana |
| 3 чаени чаши | flour |
| 1 чаена чаша | sugar |
| 1/2 чаена чаша | oil |
| 1 брой | vanilla |
| 1 чаена лъжица | baking powder |
| 1/3 чаена лъжица | salt |
| 1 чаена лъжица | cinnamon (for coating) |
| 1/2 чаена чаша | sugar (for coating) |
Instructions
- The first step is preparing the bananas. They should be well ripened. Puree them — easiest with an immersion blender. If you don't have one, you can use a mixer or mash them very well with a fork. Add the oil, sugar and vanilla and beat again well until the mixture is homogeneous.
- Sift the flour together with the baking powder and salt and, while stirring constantly, add them to the banana mixture. Refrigerate the mixture for at least one hour; it can rest in the fridge even for a day. Note that the resulting dough is a bit denser than a cake batter.
- In a deep dish stir together the sugar with the cinnamon (for coating). With greased hands, so the dough doesn't stick, shape balls the size of a walnut, then roll them in the sugar and arrange them in a tray lined with baking paper.
- Bake for about 10 minutes in an oven preheated to 180°C, until they turn an appetizing golden colour.
