Banana Bread & Strawberries, originally uploaded by in2jazz.

This week's treat is very yummy banana bread. I decided to plate a few slices, garnish them with strawberries and take a few photos.

Banana Bread

The banana bread is the Fanny Farmer Pumpkin Bread recipe with some minor changes.

Instead of pumpkin puree, use a cup of banana puree (but leave it a little lumpy.)
Instead of olive oil, use vegetable or canola oil.
Omit the nutmeg and allspice
Add 2 tablespoons of honey to your wet ingredients.

Topping

1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup white sugar
1 tsp cinnamon

Spread liberally over the banana bread dough before placing in the oven.

The aroma will make you want to hurt someone!!!
