Question
I've tried several different banana bread recipes and they all turn out the same - they don't rise, dried out, and chewy. What am I doing wrong!?

Answer
melissa,it could be many things,without spacific details it is hard to pinpoint so i'm going to tell you what i do. i take a regular yellow cake batter and add it to some smashed up bananas with a pinch of cinnamon and a little vanilla and it comes out great!just don't go crazy with the bananas you can over do it.try it  and get back to me. bob connolly
