Yum, and these photos just make the banana bread pop! I also add a tiny bit of chinese 5 spice, and its super delicious.

Mmmmmm, warm banana bread with cold butter. That reminds me of my Nanna and Pops house.
Warm bread is just the think at the moment, it is pretty cold and I like the idea of having this ready for my daughter when she gets home from school.
I don’t have a thermy, so will be using the original method, but my sister does so I will pass it onto her too.
I have recently started a food sharing site, photo site. Similar to the likes of foodgawker and tastespotting, only no where near at their scale!!!! We all have to start somewhere, I guess.
I would love to have you contribute your photos. I love food and I love food blogs, my sister, and a couple of friends have blogs and I know how hard they works and how despondent my sister is when something doesn’t make it onto the big sites. So I started Delishogram for all the food bloggers with amazing photos and amazing food. I want it to be a site that just celebrates food and cooking.
I would love to have you contribute, please think about popping over.
Have a great weekend.

Yum! I always love Banana Bread and I will try out your recipe for sure. My only problem is that we tend to go through so many darn bananas at the moment they never get a chance to get nice and ripe for cooking with!
