Using banana as a raising agent

Hi guys
I've finally gotten my w/ends back, and I'm trying my hand at some baking again - previous efforts have been akin to projectiles
Anyways, having completely forgotten to buy yeast / baking powder yesterday, I recalled my mom saying you could make unleavened bread (too long a rising time though) or use banana as a raising agent but she doesnt have any recipes to hand.
Anyone ever tried this ? I've tried googling for it, but nothing coming up

Soda bread? If you have some bicarbonate of soda. Of course you do, you're here, aren't you!
Otherwise, crackers, biscuits, flapjacks, brownies ...0 -
Never used them as a substitute for yeast in bread. But I have used bananas in the past for making cakes when I have run out of eggs (wartime recipe), and they came out ok. Perhaps it would make the bread sweet?37 mrstwins squares, 6 little bags, 16 RWB squares, 1 ladies cardi, 4 boobs, 20 baby hats, 4 xmas stockings, 1 scarf, 4 prs wristwarmers0

You need to join Hopeless Cooks Anonymous and confess all.
