Banana bread is a type of bread that contains mashed yellow bananas. Banana bread is usually a quick bread: usually a sweet, cake-like bread which typically uses baking soda as the leavening agent instead of yeast. Banana bread first became a standard feature of American cookbooks with the popularization of baking soda and baking powder in the 1930s - Wikipedia.
My association with Banana nut bread has been from childhood. Even though my origins are not American, my version of Banana nut bread is strikingly different.
We used to have tons of bananas which no one would touch for days and then what was mom to do with overripe bananas? That was the most efficient way to use them up and also make sure all got their serving of fruit with some hot tea.
I tried different versions of the bread and let me show you a few pictures.
