How to bake if I am using a convection microwave? What temperature do I use?
Hi, I tried this recipe and it turned out super dry. I added two flax eggs, meaning two table spoons of flax seed powder soaked in 6 tb spoon of water, and added. Also, my batter was not as runny as you show in your video – it was pretty dense/thick. Do you know if I need to reduce the flour/oats quantity? Or increase oil or add water? Please suggest.
Hi, sorry it didn’t turn out good for you. It may be because of flour, you could reduce the flour quantity.
Will try that, thank you. Can I continue to use Flax eggs, or not necessary? Your recipe doenst use it.
Flax eggs are not necessary for this recipe. Bananas are enough to give that texture.
This recipe was amazing. I added a two egg whites and a bit of milk to make it less dry m. The taste was wonderful! Thanks for the recipe!
