Today I am going to talk about one of my favorite breakfasts and dinners ** THE BANANA AREPAS **. But first I will explain to you ** WHAT ARE THE AREPAS? **.

** "Arepa is the typical Venezuelan dish par excellence alongside the hallaca, it is consumed throughout the country, it is usually eaten almost every day at breakfast or dinner, either as a main course or as a companion "**.
.
In Venezuela, we find a large variety of brands of precooked corn flour. Some of these brands are Juana, Demasa, CASA, Venezuela and Flour National Food Product (PAN Flour).

Add the egg, cheese, sugar and cinnamon on the mashed potatoes, add the corn flour and knead until the mixture acquires a solid, manipulable consistency, it should be soft, you should not add a lot of flour, which means that they are hard. Let stand a few minutes and knead again to check that they have a good texture.
