Banana is an effective binder and adds a ton of moisture and delicious flavor. Ripe and overripe banana can be quite sweet, which means you can cut back on your sugar too! Banana pairs well with chocolate, nuts, caramel, and creamy flavors (custard, yogurt, coconut etc.) and can add a denseness to baked goods that is desirable for certain recipes (and not so much for others). Like flax and chia, bananas are not a rising agent.
How to Use:
- ½ ripe/overripe banana mashed = 1 egg
Best in: loaf cakes, pancakes, muffins
