Today we will be making something right from Home. It is not entirely certain when or where exactly banana bread first appeared, but the recipe started showing up in cookbooks by the early 1930s. It is, probably, one of the most sought after bread recipes. People tend to make it before they even think about getting into white bread or other yeast breads. Banana bread is not only delicious and full of vitamins, it is also the perfect way to get rid of those mushy bananas that no one wants to eat anymore but that are, technically, still good. Banana bread can be eaten with anything from whipped cream to jam or, my personal favorite, peanut butter. It is an easy to follow recipe but the result will have everyone awed.
