[@XcaliburReborn]

I remember my grandad telling me a story of the first time he saw bananas sold in the UK. They were very rare when he was young and weren't nearly as readily available as they are now. As a result, many people never saw or tasted one. Because of this, they didn't know how to peel it so he recalled watching lots of people biting into bananas, skin and all!

Best trick I use is to add a very ripe mashed pear. It doesn't taste much like pear when it's done, but it intensifies the banana taste and makes it really moist.

I love some Banana bread. This one is very different from the kind my southern mother makes but still looks very good. She adds more kinds of nuts and less of the dried fruit. It's really hard to mess up Banana Bread. Another fun one I like is Pumpkin Bread this time of year. With toasted pumpkin seeds on top. It reminds me of Pumpkin Pie only with the texture of Banana bread.

[@kirbyculp3449]

Walnuts are an excellent addition, and pecans.

[@wtiffany2010]

Mine just came out the oven and it is the best! It’s the third time I’ve made it - it’s that good! Two suggestions and tweaks I’ve discovered while experimenting: -100g instead of 170g sugar. I found that the dried fruit and overripe bananas add lots of sweetness and prefer for them to not be overpowered by the sugar -100g Frozen whole cherries instead of dried cherries - the moisture added and flavor is spectacular. It was slightly on the dry side without the moisture of the frozen cherries

I'm (sort of) trying Queen Elizabeth R's Fish and Chips, with oven frying the chips, too:). I've used the Joy of Cooking banana bread recipe for years. Your hand-mixing of the butter and use of golden raisins and dried cherries looks quite luscious ~ Wisconsin-appropriate, which is where I live (cherries are prolific in Door County; lots of ctanberries in western WI, which might also be tasty!). Thank you so much for sharing your unique and fascinating stories and expertise!

I'm too lazy and thrifty for the parchment paper, yet it's a good idea !! merci !! oh, some like choc chips in it too~
