Ingredients:
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a medium-sized baking dish or a deep pie pan with a light coating of butter or cooking spray.
In a small saucepan, combine the milk and chopped dates. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then remove from heat immediately. Add the baking soda to the hot milk and date mixture, stirring well to combine. This mixture will foam up. Let it cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the self-raising flour and brown sugar.
To the bowl with the dry ingredients, add the date mixture, mashed bananas, melted butter, beaten egg, and maple syrup. Stir everything together until well combined.
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the pudding from the oven and allow it to cool slightly before serving. The pudding will be saucy at the bottom and tender on top. Serve warm, on its own or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream if desired.
Tips:
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) to ensure even cooking.
- Use ripe bananas for better texture and sweetness.
- Soak the dates in hot milk to soften them, making them easier to blend.
- Ensure all the ingredients are at room temperature for a smoother batter.
- For a dairy-free version, substitute butter with a plant-based alternative and use almond milk instead of regular milk.
- Serve the pudding warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra indulgent treat.
This date and banana self-saucing pudding is not just easy to make but is also incredibly delicious. With its gooey texture and rich flavors, it's the perfect way to end any meal. Follow these tips, and you're guaranteed to have a dessert that everyone will love.
