Sugar Free Banana & Blueberry Steam Cake

Little one got up real early today so naturally i had to follow suit and by the time i managed to coax her back to sleep, i was fully awake and hungry. Knowing she was going to wake up anytime soon, i figured out steaming some cake will take min time so did a quick search and found this recipe Japanese Steam Cake so i adapted to exclude sugar  (as usual ....hahaha)

My go to "sugar" is always banana, applesauce, pumpkin or sweet potato so for this , i chose banana with blueberries for that fun burst of juice with each bite .


Sugar Free Banana & Blueberry Steam Cake 

Ingredients
1 egg
75g wheat flour
1 tsp baking powder
2 tbsp breastmilk
1/2 banana (i used Del Monte)
Handful of blueberries 
1 tbsp canola oil
Some flour for dusting

Method
Mash banana and mix with flour and baking powder .Mix egg , breastmilk and canola oil in aseparate bowl. Combine the flour mixture with the wet ingredients and stir well. Dust blueberries with flour and mix into batter. Portion out into cups and steam for 8 min.

The steam cake turned out to be quite dense and cakey unlike the usual fluffy japanese steam cake and the banana mash probably was the cause of it. Sweetness is also very mild.

In any case, it did not stop lil Sunshine from enjoying it. You could see in the pictures above that she attempted to bite it with her gums (irritating mummy just kept snapping instead of helping).How adorable .hehehe

 I eventually did (1)remove the paper cup (finally!!) And (2) made some dents so that she can angle it into her mouth Or pinch. (3)stop snapping and giggling and join in the snacking.=)
