Banana baking fun!

I’ve often been confused about how things are named/classified/compared. Well, I’m often confused, but that’s a whole other story.

What’s the difference between a cupcake and a muffin? Is it just one has icing?

What about banana bread and banana cake?

Passata and crushed tomatoes are the same aren’t they?

Well, on Tuesday night, I baked a banana choc chip & pepita... Ummm. Was it bread? Was it cake?

I shall call it breake.

And it was delicious!!

I used a random Google recipe, which got some good ratings so I thought I would give it a go. And I am glad I did!

I tweaked it a little; my tweaks are below, in italics.
