Got bananas?

June 30, 2012 by Barb 16 Comments

If you have a bunch of really ripe bananas and are wondering what to do with them – here’s your answer!

This truly is ‘The Best-Ever Banana Bread’! It’s dense, and moist, and is a bit like a pudding, I think.

The key is to use ripe ripe bananas and make sure you use cake flour as the recipe directs.

We’re enjoying our holiday weekend with family and this is the perfect thing to serve with coffee before the real breakfast hits the table!

    It sounds delicious. But we never have ripe bananas. My husband eats them quickly.

    I’m on holidays at the moment so this is perfect timing as the little people in this house keep telling me every hour that they’re hungry. Thank you. It’s such a pleasure looking at how you’ve arranged your photo – especially love that plate.
