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.

This recipe does not cook in 45mins.
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.
