    I hate banana flavoured anything. Eg. yoghurt, milkshake, smoothies or as you say banana bread and muffins. Yet I do like bananas in their natural state.

    I don't like cooked banana - not in bread, muffins, sliced down the middle with chocolate and grilled on the barbecue, none of em!

    I do love bananas just plain and raw though.

    I have tried about 6 different recipes for banana bread and some aren't so good but there is one that is just perfect. It's egg free too.

    Banana Bread
    50g/2 oz butter
    115g/4 oz golden caster sugar
    225g/8 oz self raising flour
    1 1/2 tsp baking powder
    1/2 tsp bicarbonate of soda
    2 ripe bananas, mashed
    115ml/4 fl oz milk
    1 tsp vanilla extract
    60g/2 1/2 oz chopped walnuts (optional)

    1. Preheat the oven to Gas Mark 4 ~ 350 F~ 180 C
    2. Cream the butter and sugar together
    3. Stir in the flour, baking powder and bicarbonate of soda.
    4. Add the remaining ingredients and mix well.
    5. Pour into an oiled loaf tin and bake for 40-50 mins

    I'm the same, though I always thought I was weird and this just confirms it! I like bananas but anything banana flavoured or made with bananas I can't stand.

    I make banana bread using a couple of different recipes for hubby and my dad and apparently they're beautiful but I'd never eat it.

    My baking usually works but I can't make banana bread to save my life, it never seems to cook properly inside.....

    I don't mind banana muffins.

    Like most of you I'd rather eat underripe nanas, soon as they're all yellow or browning slightly, yuk! Different texture and far too sweet.
