Do you think it is possible to use your substitutes to make the regular hummingbird cake, not only the mini versions? I do not eggs (milk products are fine) but I am looking for a nice birthday cake recipe…

@BS: You could try it, but I’d swap in some other kind of structural element. The pineapple is kind of fibrous which I think helps to strengthen the crumb a little bit, so if you added some nuts or cereal or something, and then added a little water to the batter if it got too tight, you could probably fake it. They won’t be as sweet, but they’ll be plenty banana-y.

so I know I’m not supposed to eff around with baking recipes, but….those bananas I mentioned are still sitting around and totally need to be used. I was thinking about cupcakes but am hoping to lazy-it-out and not go to the store. Do you think I could make this without pineapple? Maybe adding an extra banana? I’ve got three that need to go, stat.

that banana trick is crazy and so useful! I tried it out last night with an unripe banana and an apple in a paper bad and it was instant success. I had a delicious ripe nana this morning for breakfast.

wow these sound crazy/delicious. I have some ripening bananas that might need to get baked.
