"I had to make this three times to find the right texture. I have made it quite a number of times in the past, but never considered it next to traditional muffins. The banana makes it dense, and the leavening makes it poofy. So, a half teaspoon baking powder results in something very heavy, a teaspoon in a half makes it light and crumbly - but one teaspoon of baking powder makes a pretty decent muffin.
You can also pour the batter into a 3" x 5" loaf pan if you want a nice little tea bread."
