Ingredients
Scale
Banana Mixture
- 4 medium sized ripe bananas
Wet Ingredients
- 50 ml vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 medium egg, beaten
Dry Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon powder
- 75 g caster sugar
- 100 g plain flour
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and grease an ovenproof dish to prevent the pudding from sticking.
- Mash Bananas: In a large bowl, mash the ripe bananas thoroughly using a potato masher until smooth but slightly chunky.
- Combine Ingredients: Add the vegetable oil, vanilla extract, cinnamon powder, caster sugar, beaten egg, and plain flour to the mashed bananas. Mix everything well until you form a consistent batter.
- Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared ovenproof dish. Place it in the oven and bake for 40 to 45 minutes or until the top is nicely browned and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Serve: Let the banana pudding cool slightly before serving. It pairs wonderfully with ice cream or low-fat yogurt for extra creaminess and flavor.
Notes
- Ensure bananas are ripe for maximum sweetness and flavor.
- You can substitute caster sugar with brown sugar for a deeper flavor.
- For a gluten-free version, replace plain flour with a gluten-free flour blend.
- Serve warm or chilled depending on preference.
- Fresh cinnamon can be used instead of powder for a more aromatic taste.
