Hi,
I have to yet try out the recipe, but when I have made the banana muffins, it sticks to the lining paper that is available in Bangalore. Do not know what I am doing wrong. I have to use the local stuff that is available here. Any suggestions. Waiting for your reply,
Jaishree

Hi Jaishree, lightly grease the inside of the lining paper (sides and bottom) with oil/butter, so that you will be able to remove the muffins easily without sticking to the paper. We use a non stick cooking spray here. I don’t know if it’s available there.

oh ..I made like 3-4 times & every time I had it … maybe the brand or variety of the bananas matter??I usually get the dole or wegmans ones

Hmm… I don’t know the reason. I’m clueless!

It’s interesting to know that you too have got the strands, because I have baked it so many times and have not seen anything like that.

the black strands are simply banana fibers.

Thanks for the recipe! I baked this cake.. the texture was good, as I expected it to be. However, I’ve seen this in my baking many times, after the cake is baked, it has some black-brown strands formed in it. The cake also has a slight salty taste. I don;t know if that is because of the baking soda/powder. I don’t like to add too much sugar for health reasons. But I don’t know how to eliminate the salty taste as well as the black strands. Initially I thought it was flax seed that gave my cakes that unusual taste, so I stopped using it. But the taste persists even without them. What do you think it is?

Christiena, I have never experienced the strand thing you are mentioning. Does it happen always? I really don’t know what to say. Maybe send one of your recipes, I’ll try it and let you know. Even while using flax seed meal/bananas I have not seen this.

Hello:

I tried the eggless carrot and banana muffin recipe from the link. They really turned out great even though I fiddled with the ingredients a bit. I unfortunately didn’t have any dessicated coconut so used oatmeal in its place. I also used AP flour and added ground flax seed and a little bit of water to the banana mixture. I also didn’t have a good oil, so used a vegan margarine. The aroma of the cardamom and bananas and carrots is heavenly! I can’t wait to try your other eggless recipes. Thanks!!!

Claire, thank you very much for trying the recipe and the detailed feedback. I omit coconut by choice and have also included oatmeal. The specialty of this recipe is, it is so flexible and adapts well to any change.
