No oven, no problem introducing banana cupcake

It is Monday and you know it is a busy day most specially for those who are working in a field or an office. As for me, I ain't that busy today, surprisingly because the kids don't have online class. It seems like the teachers were busy at the limited face to face classes that is why those who are attending the online classes before will have asynchronous class at the moment. It doesn't bother me at all since starting this week the quarter 4 began and it will only be 8 more weeks and the academic year is about to end. Looking forward for in person classes in the next academic year for everyone and not just selected for a better education.

Moving forward this afternoon, I got nothing to do because I have finished my laundry yesterday. I wanted to take a nap however it was a little too late because I had to say goodnight to hubby first. Then I remember I supposed to steam cupcake yesterday but because I was tired from doing nothing in short I just got lazy so I told myself that I will do it the next day. So today I congratulated myself because I won over my lazy self. You might wonder why steam instead of baking, well it is because we don't have oven. During the early days of pandemic since I got nothing to do, I was inspired by my sister in law in making some baked product since they have oven. So what I did was search at youtube on how to make cake even without oven, steamer was the answer. So for today article I am going to share you on how to steam banana cupcake.

Ingredients

• 2 cups all purpose flour

• 6 pcs ripe banana

• 1/3 cup oil or melted butter

• 2 small eggs

• 3/4 cup brown sugar

• 1/2 tsp salt

• 2 tsp baking powder

• 1 tsp baking soda

• 140 ml evaporated milk

• 1 tsp vanilla

• Chocolate chip (optional)

Procedure

First thing you need to do is crush the ripe banana is a separate bowl. Then add the eggs and other wet ingredients. In a separate bowl, sift all purpose flour, baking powder and baking soda. Add the salt next. After that, start mixing the wet and dry ingredients. Then add the remaining ingredients as well. By the way, I forgot to mention that your steamer should also be ready. I set the fire on a medium heat and the water started to boil just in time when the mixture were ready.

Prepare your puto cups with cupcake liner and then put at least 1/8 cup of mixture in every cups. You can put some chocolate chips on top of it too. Transferred the puto cups in the steamer and wait for at least 18 to 20 minutes. Another reminder, don't forget to put cloth on the cover of steamer so that the moist won't be transfer into the cupcakes.

Avoid checking it and wait for the right time to cook for a better result. When your timer stops, you can now check it and tranferred the finish product so that the steamer will be ready for the second batch.

And the cupcake is all ready and you can dig it in. This is perfect for afternoon snacks and anytime you want to eat something sweet. My boys loved this a lot. And since I yielded two dozens of cupcake, the leftover will be for breakfast tomorrow.

My final thoughts

So for those who doesn't have oven in their house like me, you can try making cupcake using steamer. I actually tried doing chocolate and red velvet cupcake with these process and the taste was just as good as the bake one. I would really like to commend our technology because one of it advantages is giving us basic knowledge and improving our skills. With all their tutorials that can be found on the net, we can learn basic skills such as cooking, baking and others.

That would be all for today. Thanks for dropping by and hope to see you in my next article.
