1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt

Combine 1 cup of the flour, the baking powder, baking soda and salt in large bowl. Gradually blend in water, beating with a whisk until smooth. Peel bananas. Cut each banana crosswise into 3 pieces, making a total of 12 pieces. Coat bananas lightly with remaining 1/2 cup flour.
