Instant sweet appam is a quick Appam prepared with Whole wheat flour. Healthy panniyaram are prepared in Kuzhipaniyaram /appe pan.
Wheat Flour Sweet Appam (Godhumai Appam) is an instant appam recipe. Appam is a traditional sweet prepared using jaggery and wheat/rice flour. For many festivals like karthikai deepam, varalakshmi viratham, Amma cooks this at home.
Generally Appam is deep fried, but to cut down oil I used the kuzhi paniyaram pan. Having a sweet tooth, I always wanted to eat sweets, and when it comes to jaggery sweets like appam I won’t have second thoughts. Easy tea time snack!
Appam is also a healthy after school snacks for kids. Try baked Nei Appam

Notes
I have used banana puree, instead you can also use mashed banana
You can deep fry the appams too. Take the batter using a deep curved ladle and drop it in preheated oil and fry till golden brown.
You can even add grated coconut/coconut pieces to make it flavorful
If you are making it immediately add a pinch of baking soda
