• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 2 medium Ripe bananas
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 120 milliliters Milk
• 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 100 grams Dark brown sugar
• 120 milliliters Heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 500 milliliters Water

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

Step 2

Peel and mash the ripe bananas in a separate bowl until smooth. Stir in the granulated sugar.

Gradually add the mashed bananas and milk to the dry ingredients, mixing until a soft, sticky dough forms. Do not overmix.

While the dumplings cook, prepare the toffee sauce. In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter.

Step 7

Add the dark brown sugar to the melted butter and stir until combined and bubbling.

Step 8

Slowly pour in the heavy cream, stirring constantly. Simmer the mixture for 2-3 minutes until thickened.

Using a slotted spoon, carefully transfer the banana dumplings to serving plates or bowls.
