One more steamed banana pudding recipe for the hungry kids who just arrived from school. This dish is not a planned one. I saw few bananas ready to shed from its bunch. So I thought of making a snack and ended up in this recipe.
We all know banana is a healthy fruit. And it has fibre which aids in digestion. Potassium-rich banana helps in controlling blood pressure. Vitamin c is an added advantage.
Weight watchers should limit the consumption of banana as it is a high-calorie fruit. I am using wheat flour in this recipe. The pudding will be in a dark colour as I am using brown sugar.
What do we need to make steamed banana pudding
Banana
Among many types of banana Ilike to use cavendish for cooking cakes/pudding. The sweetness from the banana makes the perfect steamed or baked goods.
Wheat flour
Regular wheat flour or whole wheat flour can be added to balance the flour requirement.
Egg
I used brown kampong eggs to retain the moisture and fat requirement of the steamed pudding.
Baking powder
A regular raising agent to get a fluffy and soft pudding. Any brand of baking powder will work in this recipe.
Sugar
I generally avoid white sugar in my cooking. I used raw sugar in this recipe.
Vanilla essence/extract
I used brewed store-bought vanilla extract in this recipe instead of artificial vanilla essence. Add 1/2 tsp additionally if you use the natural one.

- Brown sugar-5 tbsp
- Baking powder-1 tsp
- Salt-1/4tsp
Instructions

- Meanwhile, mash the banana either using a blender or a hand blender.
- Now add the flour mixture and banana into the wet mixture. Beat the mixture for 2 minutes until everything mixes well together.
- Now the batter is ready to cook. Pour the batter into a pan. Use a parchment paper to make sure it doesn’t stick to the pan.
- In a steamer, cook the batter for 3o minutes.
- Use a toothpick to check in the middle part of the batter is cooked.
- Remove the pan from the steamer. Remove the pudding from the pan. Allow it cool down.

- Cover the lid of the steamer with a cloth to reduce the dripping of steam into the pudding.
