It was about 20 years ago, I first came across Hummingbird Cake when one of my colleagues brought in her homemade Hummingbird Cake to share. She gave me a copy of the recipe that she found in a magazine. The recipe has been lost, but I made my own recipe based on ‘My Legendary Carrot …
It seems many people are making Banana & Oats Pancakes. Some people use store-bought Oats Flour, some people grind Oats by themselves, and some people use a blender to make the batter. If you use Quick Oats, you don’t need to process Oats. I use my stick blender to make the batter slightly smoother, so …
When you cook a cake in rice cooker, top side of the cake can’t be browned. But, that is fine for upside-down cakes. Rice cooker is the quickest and easiest method to cook upside-down cakes. I often use Apples OR Pears, and I have never used Bananas before. Today I tried Bananas, and used Brown …

Bananas turn spotty and black very quickly in hot summer. When I have very ripe Bananas, I usually bake Banana Cake but I don’t want to bake a cake on a hot day. Today I made this Yoghurt Ice Cream. I mashed the ripe Bananas and mixed with Yoghurt and whipped Cream. Even children can …
The other day, I realised I have never used Bananas for Cookies (except for Oats Cookies and Muesli Bars). What would happen if I added Banana to the cookie dough? So I tried with my Basic Cookie Dough recipe, replacing Egg with mashed Banana. Cookies turned quite soft as expected. Today I tried again. I …
I nearly named this dessert ‘Banana Meringue Pie’ but it is not a pie. There is no pie pastry in this dessert. The bottom layer is actually Sweet Biscuits. It’s inspired by an American dessert that I tasted many years ago. Today I made Custard, but you can use store-bought Custard. In that case, this …
I have a great Banana Cake recipe and it’s ‘My Legendary Banana Cake’, but the amount of the batter is not right for 12 cupcakes. I altered the recipe and made this new one that is perfect to make 12 cupcakes. You must use Very-Well-Ripe Bananas. I bake these cupcakes only when I have almost …
To save blackening Banana, I often freeze it after mashed it. Frozen mashed Banana is very easy to use as it thaws very quickly. Today I made these cookies, that are very similar to my ‘No Sugar Muesli Bars’. But I didn’t add Egg, because I made them for a family member who is Vegan. …

Today I finally had a ripe Banana, I made these Doughnuts in the same way as Pumpkin Doughnuts. This recipe is really versatile. It should work with any other food that is pureed into soft paste. I might try …
