found a couple old bananas in the freezer ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
recipe:
i use the recipe that everyone uses. i only had 2 bananas but it's better with 3 or 4. i also subbed in the toasted sugar i made on sunday and added a 1/4 tsp of pandan flavoring. the batter was a perfect grass green but the finished bread looked basically normal, maybe with a slight green tint. more pandan next time for sure.
wtf is pandan?
it's a kind of tropical plant with fragrant leaves used in south and southeast asian cooking, also called screwpine. it tastes almost like really fragrant rice? the leaves can be used to wrap food for cooking, or put directly in the pot for cooking rice. it's a pretty common flavoring for southeast asian desserts. if you go to a thai or vietnamese dessert shop, don't assume the green cake is matcha flavored, it's more likely pandan.
the extract i buy at the asian supermarket also functions as food coloring, it makes batter look like nickelodeon slime. it's great in sugar cookies and shortbreads and EXTRA GREAT in waffles. pls make pandan waffles.
