What to use for two portions?

2 small and ripe bananas

60ml milk

30g butter

60g flour

3g baking powder

a pinch of salt

a fistful of raisins

How to bake it?

Mash the bananas using a fork. Then, add the milk, melted butter, flour, baking powder, salt, and raisins.

Pour half of the batter into one ramekin and the rest into another.

Bake in the preheated oven at 180°C for 25-30 minutes (depending on the fluffiness of the pudding).

 

Today: bananas

What terrifies me the most when working with bananas? That they aren’t ripe enough!

Where do I get bananas from? My favourite bananas are the small Sri Lankan ones. I dream of going to Ecuador someday to taste the famous local bananas!

Why do I love them? They’re useful and tasty – from sweeteners to toppings.  

I have this recipe from my dear friend Paula. Thanks to her, I discovered hungryhappens.net; we tried several recipes from the blog, even together! ♥

I adapted the recipe. I baked it on our anniversary; Marcel loved it (when he immediately asks for a second slice, he likes a dessert a lot). J

Use

a large ripe banana

30ml flaxseed oil

a medium egg

85ml agave syrup

vanilla extract

a teaspoon of ground coffee

2g baking powder

90g almond flour

90g tapioca powder

salt

30g dark chocolate

How to bake it?

Mash the banana, add the flaxseed oil, the egg, the agave syrup, the vanilla extract, the ground coffee, the almond flour, the tapioca powder, the salt, and 15g of dark chocolate chips.

Pour the batter into a round silicone baking pan, using the remaining 15g to decorate the cake.

Then, bake the cake for 25 minutes in the preheated oven at 180⁰C.

You’re going to enjoy this cake a lot!

I had some almond flour left (bought for this cake). I had forgotten how sticky the almond flour batter is!

The ingredients?

2 eggs

65g almond flour

30g tapioca powder

3g baking powder

salt

a banana

+1 teaspoon of coconut oil

+some honey, some ground walnuts

for 4 pancakes (Φ 14 cm)

Mix the eggs, the almond flour, the tapioca powder, the baking powder, and the salt. Add the banana that you mashed.

Fry them in a teaspoon of coconut oil. They are ready when you see bubbles form in the batter.

To end in glory, serve them with honey and ground walnuts.

Honestly, they were even tastier than I expected them to be! That’s why they’re on this blog! J

Makes 4 pancakes (Φ 14 cm)

1 banana

1 egg

120g yoghurt

65g flour

4g baking powder

5g vanilla sugar

+ butter à pan

+ hazelnut spread à serving  

At times, we are craving a filling and fast breakfast. These pancakes can be a successful candidate to this end.

How to make them?

Mash the banana, add the entire egg, the yoghurt (I used buffalo yoghurt), the flour, the baking powder, and the vanilla sugar. Mix well.

Butter the pan and let it heat up. Spread a big ladle of batter onto the entire surface of the pan (thickness: 2-3 mm); flip the pancake only when you see bubbles form. (Be careful – banana pancakes have a different texture than regular pancakes; it is more difficult to work with them and are stickier.)

Serve them warm with a hazelnut spread. Not even our cats were indifferent.

I know, I know, I’ve promised 2 recipes since last week. Something occurred, though. Two days ago, I was searching for a solution dealing with some soured whipping cream... and I ended up clicking the recipes on my blog.
