Baking Science
Natural sugars provide sweetness, pectin provides binding, and potassium contributes to browning. Riper bananas are sweeter and moister.
Recipe Context
For purees: moisture differences can thin batter unexpectedly.
For dried fruits: hydration level impacts chew and spread.
For fruit swaps: verify sweetness and acidity changes in the final bake.
Common Pitfalls
- Switching brands without re-checking weight can change texture and bake time.
- Using volume-only measurements for dense ingredients can overshoot recipe targets.
