Mash the banana and mix it with milk, cinnamon powder, butter, and egg yolk. Then add the flour and baking powder, mix quickly. Pour into the waffle maker and bake for 4-5 minutes. If you don’t have a waffle maker, you can use a pan to make pancakes.

Quickly mix the flour with the orange juice, do not mix too thoroughly. Put the batter into the mold and steam it over high heat for 15-20 minutes, do not open the lid while steaming.

Sweet Potato Roll Sandwich

3 slices of sandwich bread, remove the edges, roll the bread thinly with a rolling pin/glass bottle; 1/3 steamed and mashed sweet potato, mixed with 1 teaspoon of ghee butter and 1 tablespoon of fresh milk/formula milk.
