WHAT YOU’LL NEED TO MAKE BANANA PUFFS

HOW TO MAKE BANANA PUFFS

1. Sift together the flour, maize meal, baking powder and sugar.

2. Make a well in the center and mix in the egg and milk until combined to form a thick batter.

3. Peel, mash the bananas with a fork and mix them with the batter. Don’t worry if there are some banana chunks which aren’t fully mashed, they add to the texture of the puffs.
