Banana butterscotch pudding

Banana butterscotch pudding / Sobremesa de banana e caramelo

I’m here today on a very special mission: I must convince you, my dear readers, to make this dessert next time you see a very ripe, freckled banana hanging around.

Banana bread is delicious, and so are banana cakes and cookies, but hear me when I say you’ll be an extremely happier person once you’ve tasted this pudding. Did I mention there’s caramel sauce involved? Oh, yes, there is. Plenty of it. Yum.

Mission accomplished. :D

Banana butterscotch pudding / Sobremesa de banana e caramelo

Banana butterscotch pudding
from Simply Bill

¾ cup + 2 tablespoons (125g) all purpose flour
pinch of salt
3 teaspoons baking powder
½ cup + 1 tablespoon (112g) caster sugar
1 banana, mashed
1 cup (240ml) milk
6 tablespoons (84g) unsalted butter, melted
1 egg, lightly beaten
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Topping:
¾ cup + 1 tablespoon (140g) brown sugar, packed
3 tablespoons golden syrup – I used corn syrup
1 cup (240ml) boiling water

Preheat the oven to 180ºC/350ºF.
Sift the flour, salt and baking powder into a medium bowl; add sugar and mix.
Add the banana milk, butter, egg and vanilla extract and whisk together until well combined.
Pour into a greased 2-liter baking dish.

Topping: mix the brown sugar, golden syrup and water in a small pan and bring to a boil (give it a stir so sugar is dissolved).
Pour the boiling mixture carefully over the pudding, place the baking dish inside a baking sheet then bake for 30-40 minutes or until cooked through when tested with a skewer.

Serve with vanilla ice cream – I served with yogurt and its tang flavor matched the sweet caramel wonderfully!

Serves 4 – I think it definitely serves 6

  11. Yeah, our bananas are always turning brown before we can eat them up. This looks just too good to be true! Surely the boys will go bananas over it! :)

  12. Hi Patricia, you have an amazing blog and I just love all the recipes you post. As suggested by you I will be making this pudding tomorrow as a treat for my little brothers. However where I live we don’t get any corn syrup or golden syrup or maple syrup. Would it be fine if I substitute the syrup with Honey? Or perhaps I should use a different recipe for caramel?

  13. Patricia - just lovely. I often have bananas on hand that are too ripe to eat. Typically I turn to banana bread. Given it is winter here now, this is perfect. It is now book-marked! :)

    Vicky, tks for visiting! Let me know you thoughts when you make it?

    Aimée, if the boys like it, I'm glad! ;)

    Ina, thank you for stopping by, I'm glad to know you like the blog! I'm not sure how it would work with honey, to be honest... I have substituted honey for corn syrup in baking a couple of times, but not for syrups like this one here. Sorry I can't help you. :(

    Julia, I'm so glad you like it! Thank you!

    Jenny, tks for visiting! I hope you give it a go!
