Notes:

  1. If really overripe bananas are used , the amount of sugar or any other sweetner can be reduced.
  2. Part of the flour can be replaced by powdered oatmeal.
  3. In order to bake  healthier ,you can try mixing parts of buckwheat flour or ragi flour or even spelt flour . Just make sure your measure of flour does not exceed 2 cups.
