Melted butter, for greasing
1/2 cup slivered almonds
3 sheets filo pastry
21/2 tbs butter, melted
3 bananas, peeled, thickly sliced
1 1/2 tbs brown sugar
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
Passionfruit cream:
5/8 lb fresh ricotta
1/4 cup thin cream
1/4 cup icing sugar
4 passion fruit, halved, pulp removed
Preheat oven to 400°f. Brush 6 large (1-cup) muffin pans with melted butter to grease. Spread almonds over a baking tray. Bake in preheated oven for 3-4 minutes or until golden. Cut the filo sheets in 1/2 lengthways and then cut each strip evenly into 4 pieces. Line each pan with 4 pieces of filo layered at right angles, brushing each with a little melted butter first. Divide bananas among filo cases. Sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon, and then the almonds. Fold in the filo to enclose the filling. Bake in preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until golden. Meanwhile, to make the passion fruit cream, use electric beaters to beat the ricotta, cream, icing sugar and passion fruit in a medium bowl until combined.

¾ stick butter, chilled, chopped
3 cups self-raising flour
3/4 cup mashed banana
3/4 cup milk
2/3 cup passion fruit pulp
Preheat oven to 400°F. Line 2 large baking trays with baking paper. Process butter and flour until mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs. Transfer to a large bowl. Make a well in the center of the mixture. Add banana and milk. Stir mixture with a butter knife until just combined. Turn onto a lightly floured surface. Knead gently, until mixture comes together and forms a dough. Using a lightly floured rolling pin, roll dough into a ¾ inch thick, 8 inch x 12 inch rectangle. Spread 1/2 cup passion fruit over top of dough, leaving a ¾ inch border. Starting with 1 long side, roll up dough to form a log. Cut into 5 inch x ¾ inch thick slices. Place, 1 ½ inch apart, cut-side up, on prepared trays. Brush remaining passion fruit on top of each snail. Bake for 20 minutes or until golden and cooked through. Serve snails warm or cold.
1 2/3 cups plain flour
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/3 cup caster sugar
1/3 firmly packed cup brown sugar
1 tsp ground cinnamon
2 eggs, beaten
1 tsp vanilla extract
3 bananas, mashed
Passion fruit butter:
½ lb cream cheese
1/3 cup (4 tbs) good-quality lemon curd
1/4 cup icing sugar, sifted
1/4 cup fresh passion fruit pulp (from about 4 passion fruit)
Preheat the oven to 320°F and grease and line a 4 inch x 8 inch loaf pan. Sift flour and baking powder into a bowl, then stir in sugars and cinnamon. Add eggs, vanilla and banana and stir until well combined. Spread into prepared pan. Bake for 45-50 minutes until a skewer inserted in the centre comes out clean. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely. Meanwhile for the butter, place cheese, lemon curd and sugar in a food processor. Pulse briefly until just combined (don't overwork or it'll be too runny). Add the passion fruit and pulse 2-3 times to combine. Chill until ready to serve. (Passion fruit butter will keep in a sealed container for up to 1 week in the fridge.) Slice the banana bread and serve with the passion fruit butter.
