What can I replace bananas with in a recipe

Monkeys? Only thing I can think of that goes with bananas.

The OP doesn't have any bananas!

They need something to go with the BUTTERSCOTCH.

I finally decided to use dates, cake just out of oven, waiting for it to cool a little before tasting. Like the idea of apples though. Might try that next time.

well done, still think you should have used monkeys.

Just had a slice of cake which was fine but the dates overwhelmed the butterscotch flavour. The cake will not be wasted but I would have preferred to eat the bar of butterscotch chocolate instead of putting it in the cake! Will definitely try apple next time.

Thanks for reporting back. It's always nice to know what other people's experiments turn out like in case we want to try them ourselves.

Well during World War II when I was a very tiny child, my mother used mashed parnips in baking but that is probably a bit extreme ! I supect apples would work well and help to make a nice moist cake. If you use Bramleys you might need to add some extra sugar as they can be a little tart.

yes I would have said use parsnips as well, my mum used to make parsnip fritters and they tasted just like bananas!
