    Amish Banana-Apple-Pecan Bread

    Published: Nov 7, 2013 · Updated: Feb 2, 2021 by Kevin Williams | 3 Comments

    This bread could be called BAP bread, standing for Banana-Apple-Pecan.  This is a fun variation to add zing to a sleepy banana bread recipe.Bananas have been enjoyed and accepted within the Amish community for almost a century now.   While the fruit isn’t native to the USA, bananas are pretty accessible, even in most Amish-owned groceries.  Anyway, this is a wonderful twist to the traditional banana bread recipe used in Amish kitchens.

      I made this over the weekend and I cannot explain to you how delicious this was. I did use natural apple sauce instead of vegetable oil to cut the fat. I shared it with a group of widow ladies from my church and they said it was fabulous! Thanks for sharing!!

      Hi Kevin I'm not sure what your doing about the Food Advertising that's on each story/post. I clicked on it but got a page and got a page that sounded like they wanted me to post a ad on my page. Not sure. I do enjoy your newsletter and have been reading it for a long time.

        Helen, do you mean the ads within the recipe itself or someplace else on the site? I'd like to recreate your experience on my end...
