TIPS

#1- Always remove the skin and pre chop up your rotting Bananas, place in a  snap lock bag ready to freeze. There is nothing worse, then trying to peel a frozen Banana!

#2- I actually sub the Golden Syrup for Medjool Date Syrup, or any other sweetener is just fine. Honey, Rice malt, Maple Syrup

#3- If you find that your bread is browning too much on top, before the inside is cooked through. Just pop some foil over it, and continue to bake.
