MONKEY BANANA JAM



Monkey Banana Jam image

This is a family favorite. It's very good on toast, especially beer-bread toast. (Recipes available from this site.) Try it with peanut butter for a great sandwich. You can also use it to top ice cream. It's popular with banana-lovers young and old. This can be frozen, but it will darken. As written, it's fine, but you can experiment with spices too. Cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, lemon/orange peel are all good candidates. Pick one or two for variety.

Chunky Monkey Best Vegan Chocolate Chip Banana Bread Recipe - (4.3/5) image

Provided by á-49368

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 cups all-purpose unbleached white flour
1/3 cup sugar
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
dash salt (optional)
3 medium very ripe bananas
juice of 1/2 lemon
1/2 cup coconut oil
1 cup vegan chocolate chips/chunks

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. 2. In a big bowl, combine all dry ingredients and sift well with a fork or a whisk. In a medium bowl, mash the bananas, leaving some small chunky bits. Add the oil and lemon juice to the bananas, and combine well. 3. Add the wet ingredients and the chocolate chips to the big bowl with the dry ingredients, and combine well until just mixed. (Don't overmix-when in doubt, just stop, since it's better that two chocolate chips are touching than that your loaf is tough). 4. Pour the batter into a loaf pan or 2 mini loaf pans. Bake for 45-50 minutes (big loaf) or 25 minutes (small loaf). Since heat varies by the oven, you should check the loaves using the toothpick method. When it's golden on top and toothpick comes out clean, it's done. Enjoy!

Bread is done when a skewer inserted into the middle comes out clean.

MONKEY TAIL BANANA CAKE

Categories     dessert

Time 2h8m

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

3/4 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 1/2 cups packed light brown sugar
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
3 large eggs
6 medium-size ripe bananas, mashed
1 (16-ounce) container sour cream
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
4 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking soda
Salt
1 cup chopped pecans, optional
1 cup mini semisweet chocolate chips
1 (13-ounce) container chocolate-hazelnut spread (recommended: Nutella)
1 (8-ounce) block cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup confectioner's sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 cups heavy whipping cream

Steps:

  • For the cake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease 3 (9-inch) round cake pans with cooking spray. In large bowl, cream together the butter, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Mix in the eggs, mashed bananas, sour cream, and vanilla until smooth.
  • In a separate bowl sift together the flour, baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Add the sifted ingredients to the batter.
  • Stir in nuts, if using, and chocolate chips. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared pans. Bake for 45 minutes to 1 hour or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool the cakes in the pans for 10 to 15 minutes and then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  • For the frosting: Prepare the frosting by whipping the cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla together until creamy. Increase the mixing speed, then slowly pour in the heavy cream and beat until smooth and thick and the frosting is the consistency of whipped cream. Store in the refrigerator until you are ready to use.
  • To assemble the cake, place 1 cake layer on a cake plate. Spread with 1/2 the container of chocolate-hazelnut spread and top with a thin layer of whipped cream cheese frosting, about 1/2 cup. Repeat with the second layer, using the remaining 1/2 of the chocolate-hazelnut spread and 1/2 cup whipped frosting.
  • Top with the final cake layer and frost or decorate with the remaining whipped frosting. Garnish, as desired.

MONKEY BANANA JAM



Monkey Banana Jam image

I'm always looking for ideas for canning. I ran across this recipe on allrecipes. Great way to use up over ripe bananas!

Provided by Amy Freeman

Categories     Jams & Jellies

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 lb perfectly ripe bananas (no brown spots)
2 c fresh pineapple chunks (or 2 20oz cans drained)
2 c white sugar (1 cup less if using sweetened-flaked coconut or canned sweetened pineapple)
1 lemon, zest and juice
1/2 c flaked coconut, any kind (natural or sweetened) (optional)

Steps:

  • 1. Peel and slice bananas, and add all ingredients together in a large preserving pan. Bring to a boil, stirring often, and then reduce to a simmer for the next 15 minutes. (Cook until thick...it might take several more minutes, or it might take as few as 10 minutes.)
  • 2. While the mixture is simmering, use a potato masher, or large sturdy slotted spoon, to periodically mash the fruit down, between bouts of stirring to prevent any preserves from sticking
  • 3. Once desired thickness has been achieved, spoon mixture immediately into hot sterilized jars. Look for any air bubbles in the jars of Monkey Butter and if you see any, use a chopstick or plastic knife to pop them before wiping rims clean and sealing
  • 4. Process for 15 minutes in a Boiling Water Bath.
