HINTS & TIPS

The more ripe your bananas the sweeter the cake/bread will be
Replace the walnuts with pistachios or macadamia’s for something different
Even though this is a steamed bread the top, sides and bottom will still gain some colour
Don’t forget to remove the paper and foil when the steaming is finished, this will stop the cake/bread from sticking
