Ingredients

• 8 tbsp of butter
• 2/3 of a cup of sugar
• 2 eggs
• 1 ½ cups of all-purpose flour
• 2 tbs of milk
• 3 ¼ teaspoons of baking powder
• 2 mashed bananas

Method

1. In a bowl add butter and sugar and cream together until light and fluffy.
2. Add one egg and stir, then add the other egg and stir.
3. Add half the flour and fold it in.
4. Add the rest of the flour, the milk and baking powder and mashed bananas and stir.
5. Place in a loaf tin.  I actually used two aluminum foil loaf tins.
6. Put 3 cups of water in the pot place tray on lowest level add the loaf tin. The water will probably slightly come through the tray. Don’t freak out. It’ll be alright.
7. Set to steam bake at 345°F for 18 minutes.
8. Allow to cool and serve.

2023-11-06:  First experiment.  Taste-wise it was perfect with banana-y flavor without being too sweet.  The bottom was a bit soggier than I liked.  Next time I think I'll try 330° for 23 minutes, thus extending the cooking time by 5 minutes. Or better yet 345°F for 15 and then sear/saute for 3 minutes.

2023-11-20:  Third experiment.  This is better.  Still might need to decrease the steam and bake time by one minute and increase the sear/saute  time by one minute.

• 3 ¼ teaspoons of baking powder
• 2 mashed bananas

Method

1.  In a bowl add butter and sugar and cream together until light and fluffy.
2. Add half the flour and mix it in till everything has a consistent texture.

4. In another bowl mash the bananas.  Add one egg and stir, then add the other egg and stir.
5. Mix the banana mixture with sugar/flour mixture.
6. Coat the bottom of two 6'' x 3.75” x 2” aluminum foil loaf pans with spray cooking oil or butter.  Transfer mixture to the loaf pans.
7. Put 3 cups of water in the pot, place tray on lower level, and put the loaf pans on the tray.  The water might slightly rise above the tray.  Don’t freak out.  It’ll be alright.
8. Set to steam bake at 345°F for 14 minutes.  Open lid promptly after the 14 minutes are up.
9. Set Speedi to sear/sauté for 6 minutes on Hi5, keeping the lid open.  This is to make sure it’s not too soggy on the bottom.
