This is my version of 'Brandon Banana Bread' before it got to the cooling rack! , Sort of followed your recipe, but when I got to the 1/4 t. cloves, had none.. substituted 1/4 t. ginger & 1/8 t. allspice. Toasted the nuts before folding them in to the batter. On top, since I used Lady Finger bananas (from the backyard trees), sliced them in half long way to cover top before the liberal cinnamon & sugar sprinkle. Found out the hard way that this pan (not used in ages) wasn't the correct size.. now have an oven to clean! But, it is worth it! This is blasted good stuff! Think I could live on it!

. Banana Bread Oven at 350 deg / grease a 9x5 pan (the picture is not in a 9x5, so that is why it spilled over..now gotta clean the oven! You need: all purpose flour; baking powder; salt; baking soda; 1 stick butter; 3 eggs; salt;sugar (either brown and/or granulated);cinnamon;nutmeg;cloves (or ginger,allspice); chopped nuts; about 5 bananas total.. Combine: 2 1/3 c. all purpose flour / Gluten Free 3 tsp. baking powder 1/2 tsp. baking soda 1/2 tsp. salt In a large bowl, cream: 1 stick butter.. softened with 1 c. sugar... then add 3 eggs. Mix well. Mash 3 large bananas (ripe).. add to the butter mix. Add: 1 tsp. ground cinnamon 1/2 tsp. nutmeg (ground) 1/4 tsp. ground cloves (if you don't have all these, ginger and allspice can be used as a sub) Add: flour mixture.. little at a time. Mix well. Fold in 1/2cup chopped nuts (toasting them first, gives a really nice flavor) Pour mixture in 9 x 5 loaf pan. Now......... this is from Brandon [on the other side] --- make a mixture of brown sugar and/or granulated sugar and a lot of ground cinnamon. Slice more bananas and cover the entire top of the loaf. Sprinkle liberally with the cinnamon/sugar mix. Bake at 350 deg.... check at 45 min. When tester comes out clean, remove from oven (my loaf took almost a full hour). Cool in pan for 10 min., turn out on a rack to finish cooling (put wax paper beneath the rack) Enjoy! © All rights reserved
