I have on hand 2 very ripe bananas I need to get used and thought I’d try this recipe. I have everything else, but I’m not going to have quite a cup of mashed banana. I wonder if I can add enough applesauce to make it a full cup or if this would “throw-off” the recipe? I guess if I try it and it doesn’t seem right, I can use it for French toast…hard to beat butter browned toast with real maple syrup! Please let me know your thoughts. Thanks!

Hi Jill:
I’ve used sour cream to fill in for banana if I didn’t have enough. also a tablespoon of ricotta. even a tablespoon of water or milk will work, it’s the liquid that’s needed. sour cream gives a richness to any cake…
hope all is well where you are, we are buried in snow here in the Northeast!

  You are right Donna any extra liquid will work just fine. I have been watching the weather on you guys and can’t believe how hard hit you getting. I do hope everyone is doing ok especially those without out power. We have been without power for a couple of weeks here and it was no picnic. Hope you can stay in and stay warm.

    I’m thanking my lucky stars every day I’m now retired and don’t have to go out! I’m also so grateful to the National Guard here helping to clear the streets. equipment has been brought in from quite a few surrounding states, and we really appreciate it. Even big snow melting machines. we’ve even gotten government permission to put the snow in the harbor! hopefully, we can reciprocate when needed.
    Never have I seen anything like this!!! February has been twice a week storms all month. A big stay safe to all across the country, other areas are getting hit hard also.
    Good thoughts and prayers that we all stay safe and healthy for the rest of this winter!

This is super with a stick of melted butter instead of the oil.

  You can interchange butter and oil sometimes but keep in mind that often that affects the texture etc. on some things.

  No the oil is needed in here. In some recipes you can replace part of the milk for sour cream

Can I made mini muffins instead of a loaf? I am wanting to cook and freeze.

  Yes you can. Most quick breads like this you can make into loaves, muffins, mini loaves, cakes or cupcakes. I love using my regular banana bread recipe to make into cupcakes and add vanilla cream frosting. The main thing is you may have to adjust the temp and to do this look at another mini muffin or similar recipe as to what is used for a temp and use that.
