When Bovaer came on the scene we immediately switched to organic butter which is grass fed:-)

You can use grass fed butter which is considered a neutral flat when it comes to coronary artery disease

Yes but bring them to room temp because if they are stiil cold the melted butter will harden when you mix it in.

Hi Kodi, no it’s nothing like Banana Bread that has a cake like texture. This has a stodgy, dense texture akin to bread pudding.

In reply to Dezi.

I did the same! Added sprinkles of all my go to fall seasonings (nutmeg, ginger, cinnamon, cloves, and allspice), and it was soooooooo good. Really went with vanilla ice cream soooo well. I may never make banana bread again!

(And agreed, this was such a random gem of a find! I went to move a thing of bananas and didn’t realize they were so ripe, they instantly fell off the stem and the peels were off on all of them. So needed to use them right away but didn’t want to just make banana bread. Quick google and found this and it’s my new favorite thing!)

Hi Marc, it is indeed a very forgiving recipe, so glad you like it and have made it your own. When I tried self raising flour it had zero affect on the outcome but if that’s all one has in the cupboard…

In reply to Camilla.

This is a great and very forgiving recipe. I’ve varied the number of bananas between 3 and 10, used Stevia sugar substitute, used plain whole wheat flour with baking powder and baking soda, added black molasses and dark roast coffee for color and flavor. Every variation has turned out well. Thanks!

Wow really lucked upon this gem! I happened to have several very ripe bananas and wanted to do something other than the typical banana bread. This did not disappoint! I added some nutmeg and cinnamon to the batter and topped it with homemade whipped cream while still warm. Family loved it so Ive saved this recipe and will definitely be making in the future. Thank you!

So glad you like the recipe and have made it your own. I’d be interested to hear how the Greek Yogurt goes but if it were me I’d try using olive oil if you don’t want to use butter. However I do think butter is a healthy fat as everything we’ve been brainwashed to believe about fat and cholesterol has recently been turned on its head. Have a Google for latest findings from studies that never got published as the scientists couldn’t understand them at the time.

I’m on a health kick so I make my own oat flour to which I add a couple of spoons of cocoa powder and some cinnamon and use Skinny Food Co maple syrup instead of sugar. I even made it in an airfryer and it worked. Next time I’m going to try Greek yogurt instead of butter to make it healthier.

Hi Linden, I’ve never tried it but after a quick Google it seems that you could but would need to use less as honey is very sweet. I would try half as much honey to sugar ratio. Do let me know how it goes if you try this.

My best guess is that you oven is at fault. I describe this puddding as gooey in the middle and crispy on the edges, if yours was a liquid sludge and cakey on the outside then it didn’t bake at the correct temperature or long enough or both. Did it look like my photos or are you just not a fan of a gooey centre? Using self raising flour makes no difference to this pudding as I sometimes use it when I don’t have plain flour. This is the most popular recipe on my blog so I know my recipe is not at fault. I look forward to hearing back from you.

Hi Judith, that’s because a volume does not translate to weight. Eg a cup of feathers does not weigh the same as a cup of gold nuggets. Same goes for sugar and flour. A grain of sugar weighs more than a grain of flour so you need more volume of flour. The conversions have been done online and you can check for yourself.

Hi Linda, thank you for that. I relied on an internet search and the only result I found said the flour equalled half a cup. I just went out into my kitchen and tipped some flour into a cup and you’re right, packed down it it 7/8. I did the same with the sugar as a different site said it was 1/2 a cup and my measuring just now confirms that that is correct. If anything you can reduce the sugar as the bananas are so sweet so you certainly wouldn’t want to add more. However I left the quantities along as people have got used to cutting the sugar by half etc. I’ll go and fix the flour quantity now.

Also the sugar is similar. I measured and weighed and looked on line. Please update. It’s a grand pudding though!

Hi Jan, so glad you like the recipe. It makes no difference whether you use plain or self raising flour, the outcome is the same. For the butter, just use what you usually have in the fridge. I tend to use unsalted but a bit of salt is no bad thing as can enhance flavour.
