Enjoy your delicious creation!
Bake the soufflés for 15-18 minutes at 375°F (190°C). They should rise and turn a light golden brown, but avoid opening the oven during the first 12 minutes to prevent them from collapsing.
The soufflés are done when they have risen and are lightly golden brown. You can also gently jiggle them; if they are set but still a bit wobbly in the center, they are perfectly cooked.
While bananas are essential for the flavor, you may experiment with similar soft fruits like ripe avocados or pureed mango, but keep in mind it will alter the taste and texture of the soufflé.
Soufflés are best enjoyed immediately after baking as they will deflate quickly. If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a day, but expect a loss in texture.
If you don't have toasted coconut, you can try using finely chopped nuts like almonds or pecans as a topping for a different flavor or texture, though it won't replicate the coconut taste.
- Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature to help incorporate air and create a fluffy soufflé.
- Use fresh, ripe bananas for the best flavor and natural sweetness.
- Be gentle when folding the whipped egg whites into the banana mixture to retain the airiness needed for a good rise.
- Preheat your oven and position the rack in the lower third to prevent the top from browning too quickly.
- Do not open the oven door during baking, as this can cause the soufflé to collapse.
- Serve immediately after baking to enjoy the soufflé at its peak fluffiness and texture.
