80g unsalted butter, melted, plus 30g melted, extra
1/4 cup (60g) brown sugar, plus 2 tbs extra
2 eggs, at room temperature, lightly beaten
2 (230g) very ripe bananas, peeled and mashed, plus 3 extra, peeled and sliced in half lengthways
1 1/2 cups (225g) self-raising flour
1/2 cup (125ml) milk
3/4 cup (75g) walnut halves
2 tsp freshly grated nutmeg, plus extra to serve
Creme fraiche, to serve

Maple sauce

1 cup (250ml) pure maple syrup
50g unsalted butter, melted

Method

1.

Preheat oven to 180°C/160°C fan-forced. Grease a 2L ovenproof dish. Place dish on a baking tray.
2.

Place butter, sugar, eggs, mashed banana, flour and milk in a large bowl and stir until well combined and smooth. Transfer to prepared dish and level top.
3.

For the maple sauce, use a fork to lightly whisk maple syrup, butter and 1 cup (250ml) boiling water in a large heatproof jug until well combined. Pour mixture over the back of a large metal spoon onto the surface of the batter. Top with extra banana, lightly pressing into the batter. Bake on the tray for 15 minutes.
4.

Meanwhile, place walnuts, nutmeg, extra butter and extra sugar in a small bowl and stir until well combined and walnuts are evenly coated in the mixture.
5.

Sprinkle walnut mixture evenly over pudding, then bake for a further 25 minutes or until pudding has risen, a skewer inserted in the centre comes out clean, and top of pudding and walnuts are golden. Remove from oven and stand for 5 minutes to rest.
6.

Carefully bring pudding straight to the table, sprinkle with extra nutmeg and serve with creme fraiche.
