I will happily eat bananas every day, so it came as no surprise that, when I discovered banana bread, it became a firm favorite. I had never tasted banana bread until I moved to America. Shocking, I know! I’m sure Australians make it – I just managed to miss seeing it for the first 27 years of my life.<\/p>\n

\"Loaf<\/a><\/p>\n

This banana bread tastes wonderful – and this is coming from the girl who can eat wheat. I cook without gluten for my husband, but I do not always make gluten free foods. However, I always make this Banana Bread gluten free. It’s one of the foods which I actually prefer to be gluten free.<\/p>\n

\"A<\/a><\/p>\n

When I’m feeling like cutting out a few calories – I sometimes do go through phases like that – I replace the butter with applesauce and it tastes wonderful. Either way, this bread is a winner. I have also tried it with chocolate chips, but I prefer it plain.<\/p>\n

\"Bite<\/a><\/p>\n

My kids love to take a slice of banana bread to school. It’s dense enough that it will not fall apart in their lunch boxes and it definitely fairs much better than an actual banana. Shall I tell you about the banana that was left in my daughter’s school bag over spring break? No, actually, it was so gross you don’t want to know about it!<\/p>\n

\"Banana<\/a><\/p>\n

My favorite way to eat banana bread is when it’s hot from the oven. If the banana bread is cold, I often will pop a slice in the microwave for 20 seconds to recreate that “fresh out of the oven” feeling. Mmm – now I’m dreaming of a sunny window, a slice of banana bread and a good book. Sounds perfect to me.<\/p>\n
