    2 tablespoon Water

    White works best...all WW
    Doesn't cook quite right)
    1 ½ teaspoon Baking powder

    "Cream" applesauce and brown sugar, add flax mixture. Mash bananas and baking soda together, add to the other mixture. Mix dry ingredients together. Stir wet and dry to moisten.

    Easy Chocolate and Banana cake off NetMums...this is lovely and keeps well, cut it into lots of little squares as it is very filling. Then eat lots of the little squares ;)

    If you don't have time to bake a banana loaf there and then, pop the bananas in the freezer. The skins go black and when they thaw they are a bit watery but otherwise they still make scrumy cakes.

    These all sound delicious. We never have bananas long enough to start going brown. And that's the way I like them. My husband and son snaffle them well before that stage!
    May all your dots fall silently to the ground.
  • we don't normally either - my mum gave me these as she had lots and my dad also likes them almost green!! - but think i will buy double to let them go brown - its worth it!!
