Banana Bread Recipe
I have a special place for banana bread because this is the first recipe that got me in to baking. Banana bread makes an excellent snack to go with evening tea or coffee or even as dessert. I have adapted this recipe from epicurious and added a little bit of my style in it. If you do try this recipe I would love to know how it turns out . This is a great beginner baking recipe if you would like to wet your feet in the wonderful world of baking.
