FAQ's
Over-mixing the batter will change the texture considerably. When adding the dry ingredients to the recipe, only stir until combined with as few strokes as possible.
Fresh or frozen fruit such as raspberries, blueberries, blackberries and cranberries taste delicious with banana flavour. Chocolate chips or chopped chocolate pieces are delicious too!
Ripened bananas are much sweeter than unripe bananas. They also have a smoother, softer texture when mashed and blend into the batter easily.
