Bananas are not only suitable for sweet baked goods such as muffins and cakes, but also for a variety of savory creations. Depending on the ingredients, banana bread, for example, can be baked like traditional bread and provides the perfect base for toppings such as sausage and cheese. For festive occasions, impress your guests with a chilled banana cake made with sponge cake batter and chocolate - a treat guaranteed to leave you wanting more.
For those on a vegan diet, bananas offer a special feature: mashed bananas can be used as a batter in place of eggs, with half a fruit being the equivalent of about one egg. For a dish to taste particularly good, it's all about the right balance of different flavors - a little acidity, the right pinch of salt, a slight hint of bitterness, plus some umami and sweetness. And with banana recipes, achieving that balance has never been easier.
Plantains, in particular, are a popular choice for many savory dishes because they taste less sweet than fruit bananas and have a tart flavor that makes them a perfect side dish for meat. Deep-fried, they can enhance a delicious steak in typical Colombian fashion. Fruit bananas are also great as an ingredient in curries, adding a unique flavor to any dish.
However, bananas are not only great for cooking, they are also an excellent base for all sorts of drinks such as smoothies and shakes. The coffee banana shake gets a special creaminess from the sunny yellow fruit, while the chard smoothie is a refreshing and healthy option. And if you have overripe bananas, don't throw them away! Make something delicious out of them, like homemade banana ice cream. With a few simple ingredients, you can easily whip up a creamy and delicious treat.
So what are you waiting for? From banana milk to banana splits, there are endless ways to cook and bake with bananas. And with their high vitamin content and immune-boosting properties, bananas are not only a delicious addition to any diet, but a healthy one as well. Experience the plump and surprising pleasure of bananas today!
