Banoffee Buns

Two flavours which I love are caramel and banana. They go perfectly together.

We all enjoy banoffee pie but it can often take a while to make. That is why I came up with these tasty little buns which incorporate the banoffee flavours in a recipe which is quick and easy.

This is what I did...

Banoffee Buns

Ingredients

150g butter
150g caster sugar
3 eggs at room temperature
150g self raising flour
3 ripe bananas, mashed
1/4tsp vanilla paste
4tbs Carnation caramel
100g icing sugar
50g butter
Banana for decorating

Method

Pre heat the oven to 180C fan

1 - Mix together the butter and caster sugar until light and creamy

2 - Add the eggs, one at a time, with a little flour to prevent curdling

3 - Mix in the vanilla paste

4 - Sift in the flour and mix until all of the ingredients are evenly combined

5 - Stir in the mashed banana

6 - Spoon into a prepared cake tin, I made individual cakes but this recipe will also work for a large round cake

7 - Place in the centre of the pre heated oven and bake for 20 minutes

8 - Remove from the oven once baked through and leave to cool in the tin for 10 minutes before removing and finishing to cool on a baking tray

9 - Once thoroughly cooled prepare the topping by mixing together the butter and icing sugar until you have a butter icing consistency

10 - Stir in the caramel

11 - Spoon over the buns and decorate with a slice of banana

This is such a great, quick and easy recipe to make, perfect for when you have children wanting to help!
