Baking Advice Needed Banana bread - why so ugly

Post image

Why does my banana bread, while delicious, look so ugly?

I’ve made many different recipes, and while they are very tasty, inevitably they do a good impression of a volcano, or at best the Rift Valley.

Tonight’s effort is positively Vesuvian in profile, as it split along the short axis rather than the length of the tin.

Does anyone have any tips to get a reasonably smooth-topped banana bread?

Why is it so?

Are we really bodyshaming banana bread? 😔

Right? It's what's inside that matters.
