Today’s theme seems to be bananas. I have already posted a drink with green fig (banana) and one on green fig pie, now I have another. This time it is a loaf made with mashed ripe banana. This quick bread is perfect for dinner; also, it makes a good dessert. This recipe can make two small loaves (as seen here) or one large loaf.

This banana bread really tasted delicious, of course I could have eaten one by myself but….. I wouldn’t do that. 😉

Hi, my son is allergic to dairy and I would really like to start baking for him since alot of the stuff sold in stores contain milk. I noticed some of your recipes (including this one)contain evaporated milk. Could you suggest any alternatives? Do you think soy or almond milk will negatively affect the flavour?

Check out my GFCF recipes that is what you’re looking for. Those recipes do not contain any dairy or wheat flour.

Felix, good job on your compilation of recipes.
Sorry to say your site has become very crowded with ads which isn’t user friendly at all, this recipe requires more sifting than the flour in it.
Am about to try this bread, thanks so much for making it available and wish me luck!
Felix
Yes, the flour is sifted twice. The texture will be light. However, if you care not to sift, that will be fine too. The texture will then be more like quick breads.
As to the ads. We don’t have a sponsor to pay the bills for the site. Presently this is the only way we generate income from the site.
Thanks for visiting. Good luck!
