This delicious Butterscotch Banana and Pecan Pudding is a delightful treat that combines the sweetness of bananas and maple syrup with the rich, nutty flavor of pecans. Perfect for dessert or even as a special breakfast treat, this pudding is sure to satisfy your sweet tooth. Easy to prepare and bake, it's a great way to use up overripe bananas and enjoy a classic flavor combination.
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a baking dish or pudding dish and set aside.
- Peel and mash the bananas in a bowl using a fork until smooth. Set aside.
- Place the pecans in a dry skillet over medium heat. Toast for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until they are fragrant. Remove from heat and let cool.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter and brown sugar together using an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition until fully incorporated.
- Mix in the mashed bananas and maple syrup until well combined.
- Gradually fold in the self-raising flour, mixing just until combined. Avoid over-mixing to keep the pudding tender.
- Stir in the milk until you achieve a smooth batter. Then fold in the toasted pecans until evenly distributed.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, smoothing the top with a spatula.
- Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 45-50 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the center of the pudding comes out clean.
- Remove the pudding from the oven and allow it to cool in the dish for 10 minutes before serving.
Tips:
- Make sure your bananas are ripe for maximum sweetness and flavor.
- Toast the pecans lightly before adding them to the batter to enhance their nutty flavor.
- Use room temperature butter to ensure it mixes well with the other ingredients.
- Don't overmix the batter once you add the flour to avoid a dense pudding.
- You can substitute the maple syrup with honey or any other syrup of your choice.
- For an added layer of flavor, consider adding a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the batter.
- If you prefer a more spiced flavor, add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the dry ingredients.
The Butterscotch Banana and Pecan Pudding is a heartwarming dessert that's perfect for any occasion.
