Ingredients
Scale
Banana Pudding Batter
- 4 medium sized ripe bananas
- 50 ml vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon powder
- 75 g caster sugar
- 1 medium egg, beaten
- 100 g plain flour
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and grease an ovenproof dish to prevent the pudding from sticking during baking.
- Mash the Bananas: In a large bowl, mash the ripe bananas thoroughly using a potato masher until smooth but still slightly textured for a good consistency.
- Mix the Batter: Add the vegetable oil, vanilla extract, cinnamon powder, caster sugar, beaten egg, and plain flour to the mashed bananas. Stir all ingredients together well until you achieve an even batter.
- Bake the Pudding: Pour the batter into the prepared ovenproof dish, spreading it evenly. Place the dish in the oven and bake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until the top is nicely browned and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Serve: Allow the pudding to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy it warm with a scoop of ice cream or a dollop of low-fat yogurt for a delightful finish.
Notes
- Use ripe bananas for the best natural sweetness and flavor.
- If you prefer a smoother pudding, mash the bananas more thoroughly or blend briefly.
- You can substitute plain flour with gluten-free flour to make this recipe gluten-free.
- Adding a pinch of nutmeg or allspice can enhance the cinnamon flavor.
- Make sure the ovenproof dish is well greased to avoid sticking.
