Banana Bread That Doesn't Suck

        We've all been there.  Banana bread is flippin' hard to make.  Let me rephrase that.  Good banana bread is hard to make.  Well guess what.  This one isn't.



        It's just kinda one of those days.  Typical Saint John weather, promising sun, but ending up...not...sun.  So I decided to embrace the dismal weather.  It is Sunday, after all.  Get cozy, make a steaming cup of coffee, grab a book if you can muster the strength, eat warm banana bread.  And don't forget the butter.



         Smother that thing in butter.  For goodness sakes.


        Anyway, for all of you out there who have struggled hour after hour, trying to make that banana bread less terrible, less horrifying, or even less nightmarish, this is for you.  It's beautiful.  I 100% approve this recipe.  Moist.  Super moist.  
        So!  Head over to Your Cup of Cake if you're just dying to make it.  Because you are.  If you're not convinced yet, let me just leave you with this image.  It's practically leaping off the page into your mouth.


        Bake this up.  It only takes 7 minutes to whip it together and chuck it in the oven.  Approximately.  Once it's done cooking you can pretend you're in that sweet little coffee shop on the corner, with the smell of the bread slowly wafting up to you, staring out the window at the rain.  It's so worth it.


        Enjoy the rest of your Sunday!  Bask in the coziness!  Make this bread!


        Oh, and I didn't lie about the summer dessert.  I have the pictures and everything, I promise.  It's coming soon.  Don't fret.

    Mmmm it DOES look good. But you didn't tell us why and how banana bread is so dreadful. I am a terrible cook, and I avoid baking whenever possible. My kids still think rice krispie squares with little smarties on top are haute cuisine! Howeve, I CAN make perfect banana bread. Must be my Mum's recipe, but I always make it for every single function I have ever had to go to where rice krispie squares just won't cut it. So, Evelyn, maybe a few words on what's wrong with banana bread? :)

    Oh, I have always just had the hardest time finding a recipe that doesn't end up SUPER dry! And I can never seem to get the right consistency in the finished product, either too heavy, or too light. Your mum must have a great recipe, I'd love to try it! Anyway, breads in general have never really been my strong suit in the baking department, so I was just amazed when this turned out so nicely.

    Thanks for asking, Liz!
