A friend asked me if I knew how to prevent her banana bread from caving in. Not being Suzy Homemaker I didn't know but I said I would ask you guys. Anyone have any suggetions? She lives in Austin, Texas, in case it's an altitude thing.

Hi NJ,
Is it a low or high carb banana bread? If you can post the recipe, I would probably be able to figure it out. Karen |
Falling Banana Bread
Hi Karen,
My friend is doing L.C. but I think she said this is not a LC recipe. I thought perhaps she may have been beating the batter too much. Any ideas (without knowing the recipe)? What are the normal reasons for falling breads? NJ |
My first guess would be that the pan she is baking it in may be too small. If the pan is too small, the batter has no where to go and will fall in on itself. The next three would be either too much sugar, fat or leavening agent. Overbeating develops gluten, which would make the bread a bit firm.
Merry Christmas! Karen |
