Nana Buns

By

These are a great way to use up bananas that are on the over ripe side of ripe! The older the bananas the better this recipe is, as the sweetness and squidgy-ness of the ripe bananas really makes a lovely moist, bouncy bun! The texture is different to a normal bun/cake, so don't worry if it doesn't feel like a plain sponge bun!
This makes 6 - 12 depending on the size of the bun you make, either a large muffin size case or smaller bun case.
