Let’s Go Bananas!
This recipe comes to me from Patrick, who handles marketing here at Home Style Austin. He promised it was one of his family’s tasty time-honored recipes.
He was right! This bread makes for a great morning meal, a side or dessert. Best make two loaves – one for home and one for the office or for a gift. You just scored friends for life.
Foodie Tips:
This recipe makes good use of “almost-bad” bananas.
Try a slice toasted with a “schmear” of whipped cream cheese. You may never go plain again!
