Very gooey. No taste.

Made for PAC spring 2008. I love recipes that have no egg, it never fails when I really want to bake something I have no eggs in the fridge!!! I thought this was a lovely moist and tasty bread not too sweet. I ended up using 1 cup of mashed banana's (3 medium) and I also added 1/2 tsp of baking powder (thanks to mikekey's review). I also used 1 cup whole wheat flour, 1/2 cup all purpose. It took about 55 minutes in my oven. At 35 minutes into cooking I sprinkled the top with a crushed milk chocolate and almond bar. My kids are in chocolate heaven :) :)

This is a nice change from plain banana bread. I made a couple of changes. I was a little short on bananas (only had 1/2 cup) so topped off with unsweetened applesauce to make the 3/4 cup, and after looking at previous photos, decided to add 1/2 teas. baking powder with the baking soda to make it rise more. As an extra, I topped with chopped pecans before baking. Made for Spring 2008 PAC.
