As mentioned in my last post (the Cheddar and White Caramelized Chocolate Scones), Theresa and baked a few different snacks for Stephen and his friends for his bachelor party. After the scones we decided to make banana bread.
The only unfortunate part about this banana bread is that Theresa and I didn’t get to try any of it! When I asked Ben, one of the guys, about how it was, he said that it was delicious! His comments were very in tune with some of the ones that were posted on allrecipes. The bread is very dense, but is really moist and has a lot of flavour. Jokes were promptly made stating that Ben ate ALL of the banana bread!
This is definitely a must-repeat, at the very least because I want to see what this recipe actually tastes like. Possibly also to add chocolate chips or walnuts… or BOTH.
