The story behind this recipe

Papanași lovers everywhere, gather 'round! And eat some papanași.

It’s no secret to you that I adore any dessert with apples. Today I’m trying to make fasting papanași, so we can satisfy everyone.

We mix:

1 cup of flour

1 grated banana (it works in sweets as an egg substitute)

1 teaspoon of coconut oil

1 teaspoon of cinnamon

1/2 packet of baking powder

a pinch of salt

Then we add:

4 grated tart apples (I prefer them with the skin on. It’s a shame to throw away exactly the best part of the fruit)

We spoon the batter into hot palm oil and create the desired shape.

We leave them until they turn golden, and then we take them out onto paper towels to remove the excess oil.

Goodness, they are so delicious...!!! <3
