Recipe Notes

from Australia’s Best Recipes team

The mixture can stay moist for a long time in the oven, so cooking time can vary.

Skewer test periodically near the time limit until it comes out clean.

This recipe uses an extra banana instead of using an egg.

You can also substitute the third banana for a green apple, for an apple and banana mixture. This makes it extra moist, so the cooking time is slightly longer.

Vanilla can be omitted and it will still be delicious. Experiment by adding desiccated coconut, dried fruits and nuts, or oats.

If making muffins bake for 25 minutes instead.
