Not only do I always think about that last touch as I remove a beautiful golden loaf from the oven, but this time I simply didn’t have enough bananas to flex my decorative efforts. When it's cold outside on a cloudy day, I know you say to yourself, what can make me feel good. Big, hearty, meals, fried foods, bread, soups and beans are some common go to’s. The boys really like bananas so when we buy, re reka a box and it never lasts long. Every once in a while they don’t finish them and I’ll put them in the fridge for a smoothie. In a case where no one wants a smoothie and I have some baking ingredients, I whip up banana Muffins. Bran banana muffins or my personal favourite banana bread.
A slice or two of the warm loaf straight out of the oven simply tastes like heaven. On a chilly day with a hot cup of coffee or hot chocolate, there is nothing that compares. I put the box of leftover black and brown skinned bananas into the fridge. I suspect following that, after two days passed, someone thought I’d forgotten them because I found them on the way to the dustbin. I took out my simple banana bread recipe and got to baking. Few ingredients, easy prep. The baking time takes up most of the time, but it’s worth it.
