I'm frequently experimenting with recipes to use up over-ripe bananas and decided this time to make a sort of Chelsea Bun with a chocolate and banana filling.
I used the Chelsea Bun recipe from this post and make a filling using:
3 over ripe bananas
1 heaped teaspoon cinnamon
2 tsp vanilla extract
80g dark chocolate chunks
Mash together the banana, cinnamon and vanilla until a paste forms. Spread the paste over the rolled out dough, sprinkle the chocolate chunks over the top. Roll up the dough and slice then prove and bake as normal.
These delicious swirls are great with a cuppa for an afternoon tea treat!
I'm adding these Banana and Dark Chocolate Chip Swirls to No Waste Food Challenge this month as I used up over-ripe bananas. Created by Elizabeth's Kitchen the challenge is being hosted by Anne's Kitchen this month.
I'm also adding this recipe to Credit Crunch Munch as the bananas were reduced for quick sale when I orignally purchased them. Created by Helen and Camilla the challenge is being hosted by Sarah from Maison Cupcake this month.
Hooray for over ripe bananas. Best alternative Chelsea bun filling ever!
