Famous No-Oven Banana Chocolate Dessert
Ingredients
- 1 banana
- 20 g butter
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 egg
- 50 g sugar
- A pinch of salt
- 50 ml vegetable oil
- 150 ml milk
- 8 g vanilla sugar
- 130 g flour
- 20 g cocoa powder
- 8 g baking powder
Instructions
Prepare the Pan
- Grease the Pan: Start by greasing a pan with 20 g of butter. Ensure the butter is spread evenly to prevent sticking.
- Sprinkle with Sugar: Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of sugar evenly over the buttered surface. This creates a caramelized base for the bananas.
Slice the Banana
- Cut the Banana: Slice the banana into even pieces and place them in a single layer on the bottom of the prepared pan. Make sure the slices are evenly distributed.
Make the Batter
- Whisk Wet Ingredients: In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together 1 egg, 50 g of sugar, and a pinch of salt until well combined.
- Add Liquids: Stir in 50 ml of vegetable oil, 150 ml of milk, and 8 g of vanilla sugar. Mix until all the ingredients are well incorporated.
Combine Dry Ingredients
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together 130 g of flour, 20 g of cocoa powder, and 8 g of baking powder. Ensure the mixture is free of lumps.
Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients
- Mix Batter: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing to ensure the batter remains light and airy.
Cook on the Stovetop
- Pour Batter: Pour the batter evenly over the banana slices in the prepared pan. Spread it out to cover the bananas completely.
- Cover and Cook: Cover the pan with a lid and place it over low heat. Cook for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Keep an eye on the heat to prevent burning; adjust as necessary.
Serving
- Cool Slightly: Allow the dessert to cool slightly in the pan before slicing.
- Serve: Serve warm or at room temperature. You can enjoy it as is, or with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of ice cream for extra indulgence.
Tips and Notes
- Pan Size and Heat: The cooking time may vary depending on the size of your pan and the heat of your stovetop. Adjust accordingly and keep an eye on the dessert as it cooks.
- Topping Ideas: For added texture and flavor, consider topping the dessert with nuts, chocolate chips, or a dusting of powdered sugar before serving.
- Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave before serving.
