Blueberries With Banana Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• Arrange 3 bananas (unpeeled) and 1 pint blueberries on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Roast in a 350 degrees F oven until the berries burst and the banana peels are deep brown, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly, then peel the bananas. Puree the fruit in a food processor until smooth. Let cool, then refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 1 month.

Steps:

• Place an oven rack in the center of the oven. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter and flour a 9- by 5- by 3-inch loaf pan. Set aside.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, baking powder, cinnamon and nutmeg. In a large bowl, beat the sugar, oil, eggs and vanilla until blended. Stir in the bananas and blueberries. Add the dry ingredients and stir just until blended.
• Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Bake until a cake tester inserted in the center of the loaf comes out clean, about 1 hour. Cool for 15 minutes. Remove the loaf from the pan and cool completely on a wire rack, about 2 hours.

Steps:

• In food processor or blender, combine all ingredients EXCEPT blueberries. Process or blend until very smooth, about 2 minutes.
• Place blueberries in a large bowl, or divide among 4 serving bowls.
• Pour banana cream sauce over blueberries and serve.

Steps:

• In a blender, combine banana, blueberries, and yogurt.
• Blend on high speed until smooth. Pour into two glasses; serve immediately.

Steps:

• For the blueberry sauce: In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the blueberries, 1/4 cup of water, orange juice, and Splenda. Stir gently, and bring to a boil.
• In a cup or small bowl, mix together the cornstarch and 1/4 cup cold water. Gently stir the cornstarch mixture into the blueberries. I like to mash half of the blueberries and leave half of them whole. It's personal preference whether you want to mash the blueberries or leave them whole. Simmer gently until thick enough to coat the back of a metal spoon, 3 to 4 minutes.
• Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Thin sauce with water if it is too thick for your liking.
• For banana pancakes: Combine flours, one tablespoon Splenda, baking powder and salt. In a separate bowl, mix together milk, club soda, vegetable oil and mashed bananas. Stir flour mixture into banana mixture just until all is moistened.
• Whip egg whites with 1 tablespoon Splenda until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the egg whites into the pancake mixture.
• Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium heat. Pour batter onto the griddle, using approximately 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake. Cook until lightly browned on the bottom, 3 to 5 minutes, then turn and cook until the second side is brown. Serve hot with the blueberry sauce.
