add cinnamon 1-2 tsp, cardamon 1 tsp and ground dried ground ginger 1 tsp for extra flavour. I made this in a gluten free version - Yum!
I tried this recipe in muffin cups. They did not seem to cook on the inside they were gooey? Not sure if i did something wrong. I think they would have had a nice flavour. Mine ended up in the garbage.
i tried this recipe earlier this week, they turned out moist and were easy to make.
i didn't have a regular loaf pan either but i bought slightly larger disposable mini loaf tins and i just kept checking them with a chopstick until they were done.
I am ready to combine these ingredients listed, but there is no egg! Is that okay or is it an omission? I also have no mini pans, and will use a loaf pan, so here's hoping for the best.! (adjusting the time of baking, of course.) Please answer me, and I will let you know how this turns out.
My fingers are crossed! .Joyce.
Hi Corinne. Unfortunately, with banana bread recipes, you have to use the pans indicated. Because of the consistency of the batter, the wrong pan will yield different results, which is probably why the muffins didn't work out for you. -Maria
