Every time I’ve made this bread and taken it in to work, my co-workers just rave over it. I’ve had several people ask me if I would make them an entire loaf, and I’ve had a couple of people tell me they’d pay me to make them a loaf. It definitely makes a great gift. Believe me, the recipients are quite appreciative.
Sometimes I’ll make a loaf for me and Kemal and then make a mini cake-sized one as a gift for someone at work. Here’s what the small cake-sized one looks like:
The other thing that’s great about this bread is that that you can slice it up and freeze each slice individually so you have something sweet on hand for those days when you just don’t have time to bake. It doesn’t take long at all to thaw out.
Okay, here’s the banana bread recipe I found and that I want to share with you. I make my bread almost exactly the same way except for few minor things. After greasing the loaf pan with butter, I sprinkle course sugar on top of the butter. That extra bit of sugar makes the bread extra yummy!!! I also use almonds instead of walnuts, and I just mix everything in one bowl.
