Do you have some ripe bananas in the fruit bowl and do not know what to do with them? I invite you to try the microwave banana flan that I propose to you today. It is very simple to prepare and you will not have to turn on the oven to do it. It will be enough to put it in the microwave for a few minutes to have it ready.
Love the flans but it had never occurred to me to prepare one with banana. However, looking for simple dessert recipes with which to take advantage of some bananas that were about to go bad, this idea caught my attention. Sometimes the need to approve a certain ingredient is the best way to encourage us to get out of the ordinary, right?
I assumed that the combination of flavors I would like and I was not wrong. The result is a dense flan with a intense banana and vanilla flavor. A flan that I have prepared with a perfect amount of ingredients for three people, but that you can double if you want. If you double the quantities, yes, pour the dough into a mold with a flat base of about 22-24 cm so that the cooking time does not extend beyond 15 minutes and the center is well done.
The recipe
- 190g ripe banana
- 150g whole milk
- 2 eggs L
- 42 g. of sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla essence
- Liquid candy
- Let's pour the caramel into the mold, we spread it throughout the base and reserve.
- In a bowl, blend with a hand blender banana with milk, eggs, sugar and vanilla extract, until smooth.
- Let the dough rest in the fridge. half an hour, to eliminate part of the air that we have introduced when beating.
- Then We pour the mix into the mold gently caramelized.
- We take the flan to the microwave at 800 W for 5-10 minutes (the first time you will have to test the times) We check that the flan is curdled by shaking it a little horizontally. If the flan has curdled, we remove it from the microwave, if it has not curdled, add a couple more minutes of cooking.
- We leave cool to room temperature and then we put it in the fridge for an hour before unmolding it.
- We serve in fresh banana flan.
