Chef's tip: Check the fondant at 18 minutes: the top should be set but the center should still jiggle slightly when you shake the ramekin gently.

Instructions

    Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).

    ~5 min
  2. 2

    Melt 30 g butter and 60 g dark chocolate together in a small saucepan over low heat, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

    ~5 min
  3. 3

    In a mixing bowl, mash 1 piece bananas with a fork until mostly smooth. Whisk in 1 piece eggs, 30 g brown sugar, 30 ml milk, and 0.5 tsp vanilla extract until combined.

    ~5 min

    Pour the melted chocolate mixture into the banana mixture and whisk until smooth. Fold in 30 g flour until just combined.

    ~3 min
  5. 5

    Pour the batter into a small oven-safe ramekin. Bake for 20 minutes, until the top is set and slightly crisp but the center is still soft.
