Helpful baking tips for higher elevations

  • If you live 3,000 feet above sea level or more it is considered high elevation and may take longer to cook/bake. 
  • Adjustments are needed for 5000+ feet and above:
  • Reduce baking powder: for each teaspoon, decrease 1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon.
  • Reduce sugar: for each cup, decrease 2 tablespoons.
  • Increase liquid: for each cup, add 2 to 4 tablespoons.
  • Increase oven temperature by 25 degrees F.
  • Check if it is done a little early.
  • This takes some trial and error to get it right for you.

  2. Lorretta says:

    eggs were listed on the web page but not on the print out of the recepie I hope they still work out

    • Ruth says:

      I’m so sorry… I will fix the print version right now! They should still be ok just maybe not as fluffy 🙁 if it’s not too late add them into the recipe. Ruthie

  3. Jaimee says:

    I noticed the original recipe calls for 2 eggs, but you don’t mention those in your recipe. Did you really not use eggs, or are they just missing from the ingredient list? Just wanted to check before I attempt making these – they look delicious!

    • Ruth says:

      Oh my… Jaimee! I’m SO glad you asked that because I totally missed the eggs. I actually did 1 whole egg and 2 egg whites to cut down on fat and cholesterol a little bit. I’m totally going to fix the recipe right now 🙂 Thanks so much for letting me know, I really appreciate it!

      • Jaimee says:

        OK, I made these yesterday – with the eggs (haha) – and they were fabulous! Thanks for providing me with another recipe to use up those over-ripened bananas. We’ll make these again!

      • Ruth says:

        I’m SO glad to hear they turned out well 🙂 They are yummy little things… I’ve got some bananas just waiting to make another batch!
