Going Bananas

I scored a huge bag of bananas for $2 while I was doing the grocery shopping yesterday. There was at least a couple of kilograms of lovely yellow bananas - I have no idea why they were going out cheap and, frankly, I don't care. Hubby and the kids go through bananas faster than I keep up but this was a heap of them, even by our standards, so I got busy searching out some recipes. Last night we settled for plain old banana splits - nothing fancy mind you, just banana split lengthways and some ice-cream, today I made our favourite banana bread and tonight I tried a new banana dessert.

This recipe was easy, fabulous and a huge hit. Even Offspring #2, who is fussy at the best of times and prefers her ice-cream unmarred by other sweet things, succumbed and declared it to be "very deee-lish-us". I doubled the recipe to make four one-cup puddings and realised, too late, that the servings were going to be far too big. Next time (yes, there will be a next time!) I'll make the recipe as is but put them into half-cup ramekins.


Banana Maple Puddings
from No Time To Cook by Donna Hay


2 tablespoon caster (superfine) sugar
2 tablespoons maple syrup
2/3 cup mashed banana
50g butter, melted
1 egg
1/2 cup self raising flour
thick cream, to serve (we added ice-cream too)
extra maple syrup, to serve

Preheat oven to 170C. Place the sugar, maple syrup, banana, butter, egg and flour into a small bowl and mix until combined. Spoon mixture into 2 greased 1-cup (250ml) capacity ramekins and bake for 30-35 minutes or until cooked when tested with a skewer. Serve puddings warm with a dollop of thick cream and extra maple syrup.

Those look delicious. I happen to have some self-rising flour on hand too. I just need a banana. Can you send one over?

With havin so much content and articles do you ever run into
any issues of plagorism or copyright infringement? My website has
a lot of exclusive content I've either created myself or outsourced but it looks like a lot of it is popping it up all over the internet without my permission. Do you know any methods to help reduce content from being ripped off? I'd certainly appreciate it.

Great blog! Is your theme custom made or did you download it from somewhere?

First off I want to say wonderful blog! I had a quick question in which I'd like to ask if you don't mind.

I was interested to know how you center yourself and clear your
thoughts prior to writing. I have had difficulty clearing my mind in getting
my thoughts out. I do enjoy writing but it just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes are
usually wasted simply just trying to figure out how to begin.
Any suggestions or hints? Many thanks!
