Banana Custard Snack Bake Recipe
Ingredients
- 3 ripe bananas (mashed)
- 2 eggs
- 1 ½ cups milk
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp salt
- 2 tbsp melted butter
- Optional: ¼ tsp cinnamon or nutmeg
- Optional topping: powdered sugar or sliced bananas
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease an 8×8-inch baking dish.
Step 2: Prepare the Custard Base
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, sugar, vanilla extract, and melted butter until smooth.
Step 3: Add Bananas
Stir in the mashed bananas until fully incorporated.
Step 4: Mix Dry Ingredients
In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking powder, salt, and optional cinnamon or nutmeg.
Step 5: Combine the Batter
Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
Step 6: Pour and Bake
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly.
Step 7: Bake
Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until the top is lightly golden and the center is set. A toothpick inserted should come out mostly clean.
Step 8: Cool and Serve
Allow to cool slightly before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Tips
