Brilio.net - Banana bolen is known as one of Bandung's delicious snacks. The sweet taste of banana combined with the crispy pastry skin after baking is indeed appetizing. It is no wonder that this banana bolen is often hunted by tourists when visiting Bandung.
But behind the deliciousness, banana bolen is also often a big temptation for dieters. Not without reason, the use of flour and sugar is quite high, making many people think twice when they want to eat banana bolen . Especially if you are maintaining a healthy diet and choose to avoid it.
Using large amounts of wheat flour to make pastry dough does provide the perfect texture for banana bolen. Unfortunately, this wheat flour also means abundant carbohydrates, which can lead to additional calories in the body. For people who are trying to lose weight or maintain stable blood sugar, consuming large amounts of carbohydrates is certainly a special concern.
In addition to flour, the sugar content in the banana filling and other additional sweeteners are also a challenge. Sugar not only increases the delicious sweetness, but also contributes to blood sugar spikes that can disrupt diet programs. Therefore, although banana bolen remains a favorite of many people, dieters often have to be willing to restrain themselves for the sake of health.
If you are on a diet and avoiding sweet foods, you can actually still consume this banana bolen. But of course with the note that the banana bolen must be made yourself with healthier ingredients like what Instagram user @rumah_keizya did. Through one of the videos uploaded, the netizen admitted to having his own trick to make healthy banana bolen without flour or sugar.
As reported by BrilioFood from Instagram @rumah_keizya on Friday (27/9), she admitted to using healthier ingredients when making mini banana bolen, such as rolled oats instead of flour. In addition, she also chose to use sweet ripe bananas so that no sugar needed to be added. Although the ingredients are quite limited, this banana bolen is still delicious and suitable for a diet, you know.

How to make it is quite easy. First, grind 5 tablespoons of rolled oats. Once smooth, transfer to a pan and add water until the texture is thin or liquid. Next, stir and cook the rolled oats until they thicken or the texture is in the form of a solid dough.

If the dough can be kneaded, immediately turn off the heat and move it to a cutting board. Let it sit for a while until the dough is cold, then roll it up and cut the dough into several pieces. Because she wanted to make mini bolen, Instagram user @rumah_keizya cut it into small sizes.
Next, flatten the dough and fill it with bananas. As a variation of flavor, you can also add chocolate sprinkles or cheese according to taste. Then fold the right and left sides, then bend until the filling is tightly closed. Do this process until the dough runs out.

If so, prepare the spread. In a bowl, put 1 egg yolk and add a little salt. After that, brush the egg yolk onto the surface of the bolen that has been molded and is ready to be baked. Then, top with grated cheese and bake the bolen at 160 degrees Celsius for 30 minutes.

Well, the baked banana can be consumed directly. Although it does not use pastry skin, the surface of the bolen remains crispy and soft. On the other hand, the taste of the bolen is also sweet because it uses ripe bananas.
"The taste is not inferior to bolen in general," wrote Instagram user @rumah_keizya.
