    Not just you - I can't get banana bread to work. It looks lovely, but is doughy and moist on the inside, and then goes off really quickly. I now turn bananas into muffins - much nicer. There's a thread running currently with the recipe, if you'd like it.

    No, not just you! I like bananas, but I'm not a great fan of banana cake - and I've never managed to bake it properly either. I don't know if it's because I'll only eat bananas when they are under-ripe, and I only ever attempt banana bread when they are a bit squishy and past the point I'd eat them.

    No, I cannot stand bananas and I like banana cake even less; just mixing it up the other day to bake made me feel very queasy indeed.

    Carrot cake, now that's more like it ....
    That's Numberwang!

    Thank goodness it's not just me!:rotfl: I only like under-ripe bananas, and think you've got it right that they have to be very ripe for banana bread and the like and that's why we don't like it.:D But I might give the muffins a try:rolleyes: Well you never know;)

    Try this thread - Basic Muffin Recipe. My recipe is post 3, and I add 2 ripe bananas and a 100g pack of chocolate chips to that.

    I'm with CM - I love bananas when they're under-ripe. Can't bear to eat them raw when they start to go brown. That's when they go into mffins.
