  • 60g self-raising flour
  • 3 tbsp cocoa powder

  3. Add in the mashed banana and maple syrup and beat well.

  5. Place 4 tsp of the mixture on to a small plate and place in the freezer for 30 minutes or until they are just starting to firm up.
  6. Pre-heat the oven to 180C / 356F / gas mark 4.
  7. Next, fold in the flour, cocoa powder, salt, and vanilla paste to the remaining cake mixture.
  8. Half fill each of the ramekins / tins with the cake mix.
  9. Place the almost frozen cake mix into the centre of each ramekin/tin.
  10. Cover over with the remaining cake mix.
  11. Put the ramekins/tins in the oven and bake for 12 – 15 minutes or until the tops look set but when the pan is shaken, they have a slight wobble to them.
  12. Remove them from the oven and give them a minute or two to cool slightly.
  13. Run a spatula round the edge of the pan and turn them out on to the plate.
  14. Serve with your choice of plant-based ice cream or pouring cream and fresh fruit.

The classification of maple syrup is based on its colour – which changes subtly throughout the spring harvest – and its flavour profile.
