Today I have a guest helping me. So today’s post is brought to you by my talented niece, Saisha!
I had a surplus of over ripe bananas and decided to make banana bread in the Thermomix, and found a recipe adapted from Donna Hay (thank you Robin!). I added extra bananas just because I didn’t want to waste any, and also more bananas, make the bread even more moist.
Ingredients – banana bread
- 4 large bananas
- 125g butter
- 170g brown sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 eggs
- 80g maple syrup
- 255g all purpose flour
- 1 tsp bicarbonate soda
- 1 tsp baking powder
- good pinch of salt
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- small handful of walnuts, roughly chopped
Ingredients – cream cheese frosting
- 100g cream cheese – at room temperature
- 50g butter – at room temperature
- 150g icing sugar
- good pinch of salt
- 1 tbls milk
Method – banana bread
- Pre-heat the oven to 160C
- Blitz bananas on speed 5 for 30 seconds
- Set them aside in a separate bowl
- Add the butter, sugar and vanilla to the Thermomix bowl and mix on speed 5 for 3 minutes, scraping the bowl a few times, till light and creamy
- Add the eggs one at a time and beat them on speed 5 for 10 seconds (each)
- Add the banana mix with the maple syrup and combine everything on speed 5 for 45 seconds
- Pour wet mixture into large bowl
- Add all the dry ingredients and fold together with a spatular.
- Once all the ingredients are combined, scoop the mixture into a lined baking tin and bake for 90 minutes, or until a skewer/knife is placed in the middle and pulled out clean
- Allow to cool and ice with cream cheese frosting
Method – cream cheese frosting
- Blitz cream cheese and butter for 30 seconds, speed 5
- Add icing sugar and salt and mix for 1 minute, starting speed 3 and gradually up to speed 8 until light and creamy
- Add milk and mix 30 seconds, speed 5
Enjoy ! Saisha signing off 🙂
