I’ve been remixing this recipe a lot because I love banana muffins/cake, and this recipe has been great in every variation I have tried. As the final course of my dinner party, I wanted something sweet but not too heavy since we had already eaten so much. I used oil here since it’s a dessert, but you can also substitute applesauce for a lower fat version.
P.S. In case you missed them, check out the other dinner party recipes here!
