If concerned, you can stir a teaspoon of lemon juice or vinegar into the milk alternative and let it sit 5 min before adding, but this may alter the flavor of the bread a wee bit, and I've never had a problem with just using the bananas as the acid.

I always thought Bicarbonate of soda needed an acidic element, like buttermilk/vinegar etc? Still....you have made the cake and the photo looks amazing so I shall trust you and try again. My 3 very large reserved bananas are delightfully speckled now :) Hi, thanks for the reply!

Use the baking soda, being careful not to over stir the wet with the dry (a few lumps are okay) and immediately place it in your preheated oven. Glad you enjoyed!

It was very dense and moist, not airy and risen. I used 3 bananas (but forgot to check how many cups it came to) Afterwards I noticed that i had used BAKING POWDER instead of BAKING SODA; but surely they are both raising agents, would it mke that much difference? please help. I want to make it again and try to achieve a more risen texture. flavour- yum!! Ate it with home-made cashew/brazil nut butter, sweetened with honey. amazing.

It turned out great. I've been craving a morning treat to toast and then spread with peanut butter. This is it! Thanks for sharing such a great recipe!

Make sure spelt is okay for you too ... it is a cousin of wheat - okay for some with wheat allergies, but a problem for some. We love the bread as is, but sometimes when craving something sweeter, I will add honey or brown sugar / coconut sugar - a couple tablespoons or up to 1/4 cup. Feel free to add sweetener if desired with no other changes to the recipe. Hi Pat, I’m so happy I can help!
