I had never tried banana bread before, but a few days ago I had the perfect excuse to make it. My mom was coming to visit and I needed to make something easy and quick but that it was still delicious and impressive. So, I looked in the fridge, and saw these 4 bananas that were definetly turning brown and almost looked disgusting. So I thought why not making something with bananas? At least i could try to save them from their terrible destiny of being immediately thrown into the garbage can. I heard that brown bananas are perfect for banana bread, because when they’re green and yellow they’re not sweet enough, whilst when they start to turn brown they become more sweet and perfect for baking. So do not throw away bananas when they’re brown. Just pop them in the freezer and take them out when you’re ready to use them for baking. And trust me, you’ll love this recipe so much that you won’t even be able to wait for them to turn brown.
This recipe is from a blog called The Brick Kitchen. If you have never heard of it, you should definetly check it out. It has amazing recipes and I can’t wait to try them all. This banana bread is super soft and moist and perfect for breakfast or as a little treat to take with coffee. Also it comes with a tweast. The recipe calls for a Mascarponce coffee cream and berries. OMG that coffee cream is absolutely brilliant. I’m definetly going to be using it for more recipes. I decided to use frozen berries and turn them into a sauce, instead of using fresh berries. Mainly cause it’s now winter and it’s hard in my country to find fresh strawberryies, but feel free to use what ever kind is easier for you to find. Now let’s get baking!
