Instructions:
-
Prepare the Bananas:
Begin by peeling and dicing the bananas into thin, circular pieces. Set them aside. -
Caramelize the Bananas:
In a medium-sized pan, heat butter over medium heat. Once melted, add 3 tablespoons of sugar and allow it to caramelize. As the sugar starts to melt and turn golden, add the sliced banana pieces into the pan. Cook the bananas for about 5 minutes or until they are soft and fully caramelized, stirring occasionally to ensure they cook evenly. -
Arrange in Ramekins:
Once the bananas are caramelized, transfer them into buttered ramekins (you can also use a larger fluted dish if preferred). Set them aside for the moment. -
Make the Custard:
In a small cup, combine custard powder with 1/3 cup of milk to create a thick paste. Stir until smooth. In a separate pan, heat the remaining milk with the remaining sugar over medium heat until it begins to warm up. Once warm, add the custard powder paste into the milk mixture. Stir continuously to prevent the milk from burning, and cook for a few minutes until it thickens into a smooth custard. Once thickened, remove from heat. -
Pour Custard over Bananas:
Carefully pour the custard mixture over the caramelized bananas in the ramekins, ensuring an even distribution. -
Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 160°C (320°F) and allow it to heat for about 10 minutes. -
Bake the Clafoutis:
Place the prepared ramekins on the middle rack of the oven and bake for about 30 minutes, or until the edges are puffed, the top is golden brown, and the center is firm, no longer runny. -
Dust with Powdered Sugar:
Once baked, remove from the oven and allow it to cool for a few minutes. Dust the clafoutis with some confectioners’ sugar before serving. -
Serve and Enjoy:
Serve this Super Easy Eggless Banana Clafoutis warm, either as individual servings or in one large dish. It pairs beautifully with a meal of Eggplant Steaks, Pita Wedges, and Tomato Noodle Soup. Enjoy the rich, caramelized sweetness of bananas with the delicate, creamy custard in every bite!
