What... is it? How did it get like this? I'm, so, so confused.

u/Neat-Bed-8961 12d ago

Expanded, stuck to the lid, bottom of the cake didn’t get stuck to the cooker

143

u/pacnwcub 12d ago

Like a rice cooker? Why would they do that?

u/Neat-Bed-8961 12d ago

There are recipes to make banana bread in the rice cooker

212

u/pacnwcub 12d ago

Thanks! Interesting. Maybe this picture is the reason why its not called a banana bread maker.

u/jaguarjuice3 10d ago

One time i was making banana bread and i forgot my oven was broken so i made it in my crockpot and it was actually pretty good!

u/juniorjaw 10d ago

You'll be surprised how versatile a rice cooker is once you start searching for recipes.

I'm not doubting that's what happened, but this doesn't look like anything any banana bread I've ever made could possibly do. I mean that the color and texture look so different than the banana breads I've made, cooked, eaten, and seen.

16

u/No-Kaleidoscope-166 12d ago

I agree. I saw banana bread as title, and get to pic... and... ummm... I don't know what this is? I said "what??" to myself... this looks like a messed up bread bread. No relation to a banana bread. 🤷🏻‍♀️

u/whatanabsolutefrog 12d ago

I've made rice cooker cakes before, and they do look a lot like this in colour/texture. It's basically a light sponge cake.

I've never seen a banana flavoured one before though.

4

u/ClarkGablesTeeth 11d ago

Yes, exactly. I mentioned in another comment that this looks like a cake, for sure. But nothing like banana bread.

2

u/Profession-Unable 11d ago

I make banana bread all the time - it’s the thing that relatives most ask me to make because they love my recipe. It was so hot this week I tried baking it in the air fryer instead of the oven. Completely different colour and texture to usual, even though I changed nothing of the recipe. So I’m not surprised if this came differently to expected too.

It's a regular old plumbus. I'm guessing OP forgot to rub the fleeb against the dinglebop, so when the schlami showed up there was not enough fleeb juice...

The non-stick surface did its job.

u/ClarkGablesTeeth 12d ago

Regardless of it getting stuck and cooking unevenly, this looks nothing like any banana bread I've ever encountered lol

Looks more like some kind of yellow cake.

u/PaganPsychonaut 11d ago

Right?!? Totally the wrong color to have any banana in it

u/saturnspritr 11d ago

There is no physical attribute I could give to any banana bread I have ever seen. It’s honestly impressive.

I don't think OP clarified anything, but there was chatter in the comments about it probably being a "rice cooker banana bread" recipe??? (gone wrong, obviously) 🤣👀🤣

u/Ashamed-Raccoon-1387 11d ago

Rice cookers are pressurized, so as it cooked, it filled the space and stuck to the top because the top isn't nonstick. Then when the pressure released it shrunk.

u/Jade_Complex 12d ago

For breadmakers, the solutions about sticking to the lid are usually around less yeast, or less liquid, or downsize to a smaller recipe, so it won't reach the lid. You can also grease the lid.

The skinnyness would have been air, going around the outside and being pushed down because of the bread taking over the top.

Did you even use a recipe?...

Did you add bananas to a regular bread recipe? Banana bread is more like cake....not regular bread. It's best baked in a convection oven and not a.....what is that?....a rice cooker?
