Ingredients

• 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 cup brown sugar
• 2 medium ripe bananas, mashed
• 0.5 cup milk
• 0.25 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1.5 cups water
• 0.75 cup brown sugar (for sauce)
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (for sauce)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 2-quart (8x8 inch or similar) baking dish with butter or nonstick spray.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt. Stir in the brown sugar and make a well in the center.

Step 3

In a medium bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth. Add the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract, stirring until well combined.

Step 4

Pour the wet banana mixture into the dry ingredients and gently fold until there are no lumps. Do not overmix.

Step 5

Transfer the batter into the prepared baking dish and smooth out the surface with a spatula.

Step 6

In a small saucepan over low heat, combine 1.5 cups of water, 0.75 cups of brown sugar, and 2 tablespoons of butter. Stir until the sugar has dissolved completely and the mixture is just warm. Do not boil.

Step 7

Gently pour the caramel sauce over the back of a spoon onto the batter in the baking dish. This ensures it spreads evenly rather than disturbing the batter.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the pudding is firm on top and golden brown, with a bubbling caramel sauce underneath.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and let the pudding sit for 5 minutes to settle. Serve warm with a drizzle of the caramel sauce from the bottom of the dish and a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream, if desired.
