Overview
Banana Puff Puff is a delightful treat that brings a unique twist to the traditional puff puff. The use of ripe bananas not only adds natural sweetness but also keeps the dough moist for days, making it a perfect snack for any occasion. The process begins with mashing two large bananas, which are then combined with yeast, sugar, and flour to create a fluffy dough. Adding powdered milk and nutmeg enhances the flavor profile, making each bite a delicious experience.
After allowing the dough to rise for about an hour and a half, it’s time to fry. The method of scooping the dough using a measuring spoon is a clever trick that ensures uniformity in size, resulting in perfectly round puff puffs.

The combination of flavors and textures makes it a delightful treat that everyone will love. Plus, the fact that it stays moist for days means you can enjoy it at your leisure.
