Do you always have over ripe bananas sitting on your counter top waiting to be transformed into something to show you didn't waste your money in the first place by buying them? This is a constant reality at our house for sure and most get made into endless loaves of banana bread and banana muffins. Yesterday, with a big bunch of brown speckled bananas begging to be used up, I tried this idea for a twist on our very popular Sticky Toffee Pudding recipe by substituting mashed bananas for the pureed cooked dates. It was a big success to say the least and the 8 teenagers that showed up for lunch made short work of them. 

For a fancier presentation idea, I made some of these in mini silicone muffin pans which worked particularly well because the puddings are so easy to remove from the silicone pans. I plated three of them on a single serving plate which you might think is a little bit of a large portion...but then again, you haven't tried them yet. ;)
