The ingredients in banana flavoring will depend on the manufacturer, but the core element is amyl acetate. With banana flavoring, you incorporate a hint of the fruit into whatever recipe you are making, but not the calories or nutrients, according to Penn State University. You can use this additive to create distinctive cookies, change the taste of a white cake or enhance the banana flavor in bread.
Step 1
Prepare your recipe normally. For example, if baking a cake, follow the directions on the mix label to make the batter.
Step 2
Add 1 to 2 tsp. of banana flavoring to the mixture and stir. If creating a bread, add the flavoring at the same time as you stir in the wet ingredients. For instance, you may add the dry ingredients first, such as flour and sugar, then combine in the eggs and liquids. Pour the banana flavoring in with the other liquids.
Step 3
Transfer the batter to a baking pan and cook according to the directions on the recipe. If the bread recipe requires you to bake in an oven at 325 degrees Fahrenheit for 30 minutes, adding banana flavoring does not change that process.
Tips and Warnings
- You can use banana flavoring for more than baking. For instance, add it to your French toast batter to create a distinctive dish.
- If your recipe uses bananas, only add 1 tsp. of the flavoring. Using more may make the banana flavor too strong.
Things You'll Need
