Sweet Banana Gnocchi

Ingredients

• 2 Very ripe bananas (Mashed; about 2 medium bananas)
• 140 g Flour (A little more if the dough is too sticky)
• Vanilla extract (A few drops)
• Water (For boiling; unsalted according to the transcript)
• Butter (A little, for sautéing and browning the gnocchi)
• Maple syrup (Optional; added to the pan or served with the gnocchi)
• Nutella (Optional, for dipping the gnocchi; the transcript also mentions homemade hazelnut and coconut Nutella)

Steps

1. 1

   Mash the very ripe bananas in a mixing bowl until smooth. Add the vanilla extract and flour, then mix to form a ball of dough. The dough may remain slightly sticky, but it should be workable; add a little flour if necessary.

2. 2

   Cut the dough into small pieces and shape them into small gnocchi.

3. 3

   Bring a pot of water to a boil. Cook the gnocchi for 1 minute. According to the transcript, do not salt the water.

4. 4

   Drain the gnocchi, then sauté them in a little butter in a pan until golden brown.

5. 5

   For a maple syrup finish, add a little syrup to the pan and let it coat the gnocchi until it forms a caramelized layer.

6. 6

   Serve the gnocchi plain, with maple syrup, or with a spoonful of Nutella for dipping.

Notes

The amounts of butter, water, maple syrup, and Nutella are not specified in the source. The transcript indicates that the gnocchi can also be served plain; however, the chocolate partially masks the banana flavor.
