What can be used to substitute mashed banana in bread?

Answer 1

I am about to find out!

Personally I've done it a few times. I've never tried it with a green plantain as they are starchy and more like a potato, but I've had great results with ripe plantains. My recipe calls for 3 medium cavendish bananas, but I usually use 1 decent sized plantain and 1 regular cavendish banana. You may want to lessen the sugar you add slightly though, as the plantains seem to be sweeter than a typical banana when ripe (of course this might just be my taste). Good luck

Answer 2

This would only work if they were ripe enough that the skin was beginning to blacken. Plantains ripen at a different rate as bananas. While they are still green, they are still very hard, and not very sweet. They do not become more banana like until the skins are quite dark.

Answer 3

No, because plantains do not have enough taste to be substutded

Answer 4

any mashed fruit would work, be aware that it will change the dominant flavor if that is what the banana was intended for.

Answer 5

Yes you can most defenitly subsitute bananas for plantains. The recipe will only have a different taste but it will taste just as good for most banana lovers.
