Banana Bread for Breakfast — or Anytime!
Bananas are good for you, we all know that. The texture may not be everybody’s cup of tea, though, especially when the bananas have ripened well. But oh, how yummy they are when baked in banana bread! Or, banana bread cake, as my loaf pans were otherwise occupied and the batter was baked in a trusted spring form pan instead. Works well for breakfast, in school lunches, with afternoon tea or morning coffee.
Basic ingredients.
Batter ready for the oven.
Ah, the smell!
