In the ingredients you have cornstarch but in the instructions it said to mix corn flour, which one is correct?
Thanks for mentioning that, Rosa! I made changes the recipe a while back because the cornstarch worked better, but I must have missed the mention of cornflour in the directions. I just edited that so the problem should be gone now!
Hi Linnaea! Looking forward to making this, but I have to ask about the bananas. The recipe says 5 bananas, but bananas can vary so much in their size. Have you measured out the amount of bananas that best fit the recipe, such as in a cup measurement? It would seem to be a more accurate way of knowing how much of the bananas to use. Thanks for your time and for your posts. The other recipes look good, too!
Hey Larryn! For the bananas in this recipe, I’ve used bananas of all shapes and sizes (and textures–slightly spoiled bananas will be wetter) and haven’t had any problems despite the inconsistencies. Just pick 5 bananas that look “bout average” and that should work. 🙂
