Getting Started

  • For optimal sweetness and moisture in baked goods, use very ripe bananas (skins speckled with brown). They mash easily and provide natural sugar, reducing the need for added sweeteners.
  • Coconut oil, olive oil, or neutral vegetable oils work well in place of butter. For richness, use full-fat canned coconut milk or dairy-free yogurt in batters. Ensure these are at room temperature for smooth incorporation.
  • Dairy-free batters can sometimes stick more. Always grease and flour pans thoroughly, or line with parchment paper, especially for quick breads and muffins.
  • When making banana chips, a low oven temperature (100-120°C) is crucial for dehydration, not cooking. Slice bananas uniformly thin (2-3mm) for even crisping, and flip them halfway through.
