When the days get hot and you need a decadent treat to cool down, Ice-cream Banana Bread is the way to go. First, use Maya Oven Toaster Banana Cake Mix to bake a classic banana cake. Simply mix oil, eggs, milk and mashed bananas in a bowl. Then, add the mix and blend. Bake the batter for 30 to 35 minutes. Once it’s ready, cut it up into three pieces, then layer some ice cream in between. Place it in the freezer for one to two hours, then drizzle on some chocolate sauce for your new favorite frozen delight.
For a creamy medley of flavors, make some Chocolate Peanut Butter Banana Cake. To create the special glaze, mix together confectioner’s sugar, peanut butter and milk in a bowl until the mixture turns smooth. Then spread the glaze onto your banana cake. For an extra nutty texture, top your dessert with some chocolate or peanut butter chips.
You can also enjoy your banana cake in quick nibbles. Banana Cake Bites make for a very flexible dessert as they can be served at your next party, stored in a food container for an office snack, or enjoyed while watching a movie at home. Make the sauce by mixing some brown sugar and butter. Microwave and add in some rum and vanilla extract. Add a teaspoon of the mix into the muffin pan, covering each with a slice of banana. Sprinkle with chopped cashews and set aside. Then, create your banana cake separately. Drop the batter into the muffin pan and bake for 10 to 15 minutes. Once they’re golden brown, flip them upside down and voila! You have a cute, scrumptious Banana Cake Bite.
