Red Bean and Banana Sweet Bun


We had three huge bunches of bananas from our garden. What better way to use them than for baking. When it comes to bananas and baking, the first thing that comes to mind is banana cake. Sticking to tried and tested recipe is safe but at the same time being stuck in a rut will stifle creativity and progress. We’ve baked banana cake one to many times when it comes to finishing the bananas before they go bad. Each time we have excess bananas, it was banana cake so it’s about time we try other banana recipes.

I didn’t want to do any conventional banana dessert, so no bannofee pie or banana muffin either. After I discovered that I could churn out wonderful breads (ahem, not bragging), I wanted to do a bread recipe but absolutely not banana bread which, to me, is no different from banana cake.

This is a recipe by Agnes Chang. It’s a hybrid recipe because I’ve used her wholemeal loaf recipe to substitute the sweet bun dough for a healthier wholemeal bread.
