Baked Rum Bananas - easy and delicious

www.farmersgirlkitchen.co.uk/baked-rum-bananas-for-no-waste-food/

You can freeze bananas. When defrosted they’re only fit for baking but it saves wasting them.

Slice up the bananas and cover them with quite a bit of golden syrup, brown sugar and some dollops of butter.

Cook in oven until bananas quite soft.

Eat with either custard or vanilla ice cream.

Very tasty but very fattening too.

Oh I loved baked rum bananas.

Peeled, frozen bananas in zip-lock bags, make good ice cream if blended when frozen. You can add cream, choc sauce and nuts etc., before serving.

It goes well with:
Microwave Banana Pudding

100g butter, softened, plus extra for greasing dish
2 ripe bananas
100g sugar (I used soft brown)
100g self-raising flour
2 tsp ground cinnamon (I’m going to use ginger next time)
2 eggs
2 tbsp milk

Melt butter in a 1-litre baking dish until melted. Add 1½ bananas, mash into the melted butter, then add the sugar, flour, cinnamon, eggs and milk. Mix together well.
Slice the remaining banana over the top (I didn’t do this), then return to the microwave and cook on High for 5-8 mins until cooked through and risen. Keep an eye on it, 5 mins may be all it needs.

If you have a Cadbury’s Flake, crumble that over the top instead of sliced bananas for the last 3 mins of cooking.

Thank you for the ideas, they all sound lovely, and I have enough to try them all! First will be the microwave pudding.

These recipes are all delicious- but I would urge you to try Nigel Slater’s Banana ice cream recipe - no equipment or churning needed.

If you end up with some over ripe bananas, these muffins are quick and easy. I only used 1/2 the amount of sugar

Made some muffins Lisagran, and added a blob of Nutella to each one, should have softened it to make marbling easier, but still delicious! Thank you.

Ooh shysal that looks yummy! Normally I never eat any dairy or sugar, but I’ve fallen by the wayside these past few weeks

Banana mashed with double cream and sprinkled with sugar. Not exactly a recipe but nice.

None. Bananas are bleurgh!

Pancakes :::1 banana
2 eggs
1 large tablespoon of peanut butter.
Beat together. Drop spoonsful onto pan or griddle.
Eat with blueberries, maple syrup, cream or whatever you would like.
My DH and DGDs love them

Bananas can be sliced and used as an accompaniment to curries. I usually chop one over my breakfast cereal. If I have some left and going mushy, I mash them and stir them into any cake mixture. These recipes look good - I'm going to try them out too, for some variation!

I use overripe bananas in a smoothie.
Add your choice of milk, fruit juice, strawberries, blueberries etc and blend together.

I like the baked rum bananas recipe but use brandy instead. Have also done the same dish on the barbecue only wrapped the sliced bananas in foil.

Not a recipe but I love bananas and custard.

Thank you Phoenix, now I can admit that I do not really like bananas either, except, for some reason, banana fritters, but raw, cakes, ice cream or any other way, no thank you.

Banana Oat cookies

2 cups Oats (I blend mine so it's fine)
2 ripe bananas

That makes the basic cookie but you can add vanilla, choc chips or dried fruit, coconut. Or put chocolate on them once they're cool.

Mix together, roll into balls, flatten onto a greased baking tray, bake 10 mins at 180°

Lovely for breakfast or school lunches, nice buttered too.

You can make banana curd - in the same way as you would make lemon curd, or the cookery writer Jack Monroe has an amazing recipe for a banana chilli ketchup!

We had banana custard this evening? real nursery food.

Cut bananas in half lengthways, then again widthways, so four pieces per banana.

Fry gently in butter until sot and golden brown. Remove from pan and keep warm.

Meanwhile toast some desiccated coconut until golden brown.

Add soft brown sugar to the melted butter and cook, stirring till caramelised. Stir in juice of one lime.

Serve 4 pieces of banana per person, with caramelised sauce poured over, and toasted coconut sprinkled on top.

sot soft
