Welcome to the Full of Beans blog, where we share delicious recipes that make incorporating beans into your daily diet simple and enjoyable. Today, we’re excited to bring you a healthier, protein-packed (15g) version of a South American classic: Buñuelos. These delightful treats are typically deep-fried and indulgent, but we’ve given them a nutritious twist by using our Full of Beans pancake and waffle mix and cooking them in an air fryer.
#### Ingredients:
- 70g Full of Beans pancake and waffle mix
- 50g ripe banana (guineo)
- 5g baking powder
- 5ml olive oil
- Sugar (to taste)
- Cinnamon (to taste)
#### Instructions:
- **Prepare the Banana:** In a bowl, mash the ripe banana until it forms a smooth purée. This natural sweetener adds a rich flavor and moist texture to your buñuelos.
- **Mix the Ingredients:** Add the Full of Beans pancake and waffle mix and baking powder to the banana purée. Mix well until you achieve a smooth, homogeneous dough.
- **Form the Buñuelos:** Shape the dough into small, even-sized balls. This ensures they cook evenly and maintain their delightful texture.
- **Air Fry the Buñuelos:** Preheat your air fryer to 180°C (356°F). Place the buñuelos in the air fryer basket and cook for 6 minutes, or until they are golden brown and perfectly cooked through.
- **Prepare the Coating:** In a separate bowl, combine sugar and cinnamon to your taste. This classic coating adds the perfect sweet and spicy touch to your buñuelos.
- **Coat the Buñuelos:** Once the buñuelos are done, brush them lightly with olive oil. Roll them in the sugar and cinnamon mixture until they are evenly coated.
- **Serve and Enjoy:** Your buñuelos are now ready to be enjoyed! Serve them warm for the best flavor and texture.
#### Embrace Tradition with a Healthy Twist
Buñuelos hold a special place in South American cuisine, known for their delightful flavor and festive presence. By using our Full of Beans pancake and waffle mix and an air fryer, we’re able to offer a healthier version that retains all the joy and tradition of the original.
