Stuck at home due to COVID-19 lockdown and craving for desserts? I tried these 3 simple recipes with easily available ingredients. The best part is that all of them are ‘sugar-free’.

1. Banana walnut bread
2. Banana oats pancake
3. Banana walnut bread pudding (eggless)

Ingredients:

• 4 bananas (ripe/ over ripe)
• 2 eggs
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter/ghee
• 1+1/2 cup flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 2-3 teaspoon cocoa powder (optional)
• Walnuts (optional)
• Chocolate (optional)

Preparation:

• Pre-heat oven at 175-180 ˚C for 10-15 min, while you prepare the batter
• Melt butter and cool (Do not use hot butter otherwise eggs can get cooked)
• Wet ingredients: In a bowl – mash bananas, add eggs, butter, and mix well
• Dry ingredients: In a separate bowl – mix flour, baking powder, and cocoa powder
• Mix everything together
• Add walnuts and chocolate (to make it extra special)
• Mix well
• Slightly grease the baking dish with butter
• Pour the mixture into the baking dish
• Bake at 175-180 ˚C for 60 min
• Do the knife test – put a knife through the bread, it should come out clean

Tips:

• Do not mix hot butter with eggs
• Use ripe/over ripe bananas
• You can add vanilla essence, cinnamon, or other nuts
• Bananas: Makes the bread moist, soft & spongy and sweet
• Baking powder: Helps in fluffing
• You can use any baking dish if you don’t have a bread loaf pan (like me)

2. Banana oats pancake

Preparation time: 5 min | Cooking time: 15 min (4 pancakes) | Total time: 20 min
