I made this again with riper bananas and in a loaf tin instead of round tin with walnuts topping and it came out very nice. this is a beautiful cake, semi bread as it is not too dry and a light dessert. Love this simple recipe.

love this recipe! works everytime. also great with added berries, either raspberry or blueberry and also works as muffins. i used chia seed as eggs and it works well too. 1 tsp chia - 1 tbs water = 1 egg and let sit whilst it soaks up the liquid and becomes an egglike consistency.

I just made this for the first time. It turned out beautifully light with a great texture. I also added some chia seeds and sultanas. I cooked it in loaf tin in a conventional heat at 180deg and found that it was cooked after approx 43 minutes. Will definitely make this again :)

I added half a cup of Chia Seeds at the time I added the banana. This addition worked well.

Lovely, my kids and husband loved it too. Didn't bother with nuts, so safe for school lunch box, was still fab.

Turned out moist and very tasty. I only used 150g sugar and added walnuts instead of pecans. Process took exactly as the recipe stated.
