No-Bake Banana Flan Recipe (Without Sugar or Flour)

No-Bake Banana Flan Recipe (Without Sugar or Flour)

Ingredients:

  • 3 ripe bananas

  • 2 cups of milk (dairy or a non-dairy alternative)

  • 3 large eggs

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

  • Natural sweetener like honey or maple syrup (optional, depending on your taste)

For the Caramel:

  • 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup (optional, for a natural caramel flavor)

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Caramel (Optional):

    • If you want a caramelized layer similar to the image, you can create a natural caramel by heating honey or maple syrup in a saucepan over medium heat until it darkens slightly. Pour this into the base of your mold or pan, spreading it evenly. Set it aside to cool.

  2. Blend the Ingredients:

    • In a blender, combine the bananas, milk, eggs, and vanilla extract (if using). Blend until the mixture is smooth and well combined.

  3. Cook the Mixture:

    • Pour the banana mixture into a saucepan and cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly. Continue cooking until the mixture thickens and coats the back of a spoon, which should take about 10-15 minutes. Be careful not to let the mixture boil, as this can cause the eggs to scramble.

  4. Pour into the Mold:

    • Once the mixture has thickened, pour it over the cooled caramel in your mold or directly into the mold if you’re not using caramel.

  5. Chill and Set:

    • Place the mold in the refrigerator and allow it to chill for at least 4 hours, or until the dessert is fully set. The mixture should firm up into a flan-like consistency.

  6. Serve:

    • To serve, run a knife around the edges of the mold to loosen the flan. Carefully invert the mold onto a plate so that the caramelized side is on top. Slice and enjoy!

Tips:

  • Natural Sweeteners: Depending on the ripeness of your bananas, you might find the flan naturally sweet enough without adding any additional sweeteners. If you prefer it sweeter, you can add a small amount of honey or maple syrup to the mixture before cooking.

  • Flavor Variations: You can add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the mixture for added flavor.

This easy, no-bake flan is a healthy dessert option that’s free from refined sugar and flour, yet still offers a creamy and satisfying treat. Enjoy!
