Banana fiesta

No signs of bananas in sight??? Well....They had been converted into an array of banana confectionary.. This time round, all my housemates were involved in the baking process. As usual, I am the instructor and they are the chef... In order to be time-efficient, we had to spilt up our work mah... so we decided to make 2 items or more at one time.
The first dish: Banana muffins
Wait a minute, these isn't the first dish.. Our first dish was suppose to be Steamed banana cake but it turned out badly cause I mis-read the amount of oil needed from 37g to 378...Yes.. Imagine eating a piece of cake soaked with oil.. Well.. That was exactly my housemate's expression when he first tasted the oil-soaked cake.. (We threw it away of course)
2nd dish: Banana crumble pie.. (My favourite) I personally find it nicer than apple crumble..
Not satisfied with the morning results, we re-made the steamed banana cake... This time round with the right proportion of oil... It turned out to be really nice and tasted abit like "Huat queh"..
The 4th dish was Gourmet banana muffins. In case you are wondering why it is called gourmet banana muffins. We added raisins, cinnamon powder, shredded coconut to the recipe.. It tasted like those you get from some posh cafe.... i.e Starbucks
Well.... All these were made to last for 3 days but 3/4 of it didn't survive over a day. The rest got whalloped up the next day. Teehee...
