Ingredients
-
2 ripe bananas
-
2–3 semi-dried prunes (20 g), pitted, cut into quarters
- 2 teaspoons rum
Mixture A:
-
1 ¾ tablespoons (25 g) plain whole milk yogurt
- 1 ⅓ tablespoons (25 ml) whole milk
Mixture B:
- ½ teaspoon baking powder, sifted
-
⅝ cup (75 g) all-purpose flour, sifted
-
3 ½ tablespoons (50 g) unsalted butter, room temperature
-
¼ cup (50 g) granulated sugar
- ½ egg, room temperature, beaten
Directions
- Peel one banana and cut it in half lengthwise. Slice one half into about 4” pieces and set aside for topping. Slice the remaining half and another whole banana into ⅕” pieces. Place them in a bowl, and toss gently with prunes and rum.
- In a small bowl, combine the ingredients for Mixture A; set aside. In a separate large bowl, whisk together unsalted butter and granulated sugar. Gradually pour in the beaten eggs while stirring.
- Next, add ⅓ of Mixture B. Once partially combined, pour in half of Mixture A and continue mixing. Add half of the remaining Mixture B and mix. Follow with the rest of Mixture A, then the remaining Mixture B. Avoid overmixing. Add the bananas and prunes from Step 1 and fold in gently.
- Line the pot with a sheet of parchment paper. Pour in the batter and place the banana slices on top.
- Transfer the pot to the oven. Bake, covered, in a preheated oven at 400ºF (200ºC) for 10 minutes. Then, uncover and bake for another 20–25 minutes. Remove from the oven and let it cool on a rack.
