    Clearly i must be doing something wrong ;-(
    Made this last night and came out humongous! Perhaps the recipe should be more specific and say the size baking tin to be used…or the fact that it can make 2 loaves, as the bread is definitely too thick! Looks like I’ve made a GMO banana loaf! lol

    Just love your recipes…all of it! I have also played around with varieties and replaced the 1 cup flour with coconut flour…it’s also really good and nutty…no bitterness ever happened to me when using real butter in recipe.

      Hi Toni

      From experience I know ovens may also differ in temperatures and also depends on the size of the oven.

      I often time mine either 5-10 minutes earlier or later.
