Yesterday I started craving banana bread. Mostly the smell of it baking but also kept thinking about having a slice with a hot cuppa Chai Tea. Yeah, -24 weather with do that to ya. I thought about making my usual banana bread - the one I've made for hmm 5 or 6 years easy, but decided to surf around some other bakers blogs and see what they baking with bananas. I found Recipe Girl's Best Banana Bread and decided that this would be the one I would try. Well, after I decided that I looked a little closer at the recipe and decided I would have to make 2.5 modifications. Even with those modifications this bread turned out fantastic! They are absolutely the most beautiful loaves of banana bread I have made to date. And they taste just as good as they look. So if you have bananas ready for baking I definitely recommend this recipe.
