Peel 1 banana and mash it until it reaches a puree texture.

Pour whole milk into a bowl.

Add yeast and a little bit of salt to the milk and stir.

Add melted butter, vanilla extract, and 1 egg to the mixture and stir again.

Add about 2 tablespoons of sugar to the mixture, then stir.

Pour the banana puree into the mixture and stir everything together.

Gradually add 2 cups of flour to the mixture, mixing with a mixer.

Grease a bowl with a little bit of olive oil to prevent sticking.

Cover the bowl and let the dough sit in a dark place to proof for about 15 minutes.

After 1.5 to 2 hours, check the dough; it should have risen significantly.

Add flour to a clean surface and roll the dough to about the thickness of your finger (1 inch).

Cut the dough into pieces and place them on a greased tray.

Cover the tray and let the dough pieces proof for another 30 to 40 minutes.

Heat oil in a deep fryer or large pot on low heat for frying.

Carefully drop the dough pieces into the hot oil, frying them on low heat to avoid burning.

Fry until golden brown, making sure the inside is cooked through.

Dust with powdered sugar before serving.
