    Basic Banana Bread

    Published: Apr 21, 2012 · Updated: Feb 2, 2021 by Kevin Williams | 3 Comments

    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.  I'm not sure really how the "Amish" version of banana bread differs from the rest.  It's a very basic recipe (there are only so many ways one can make banana bread), although I do think most Amish would be using fresh from the hen-house eggs, whole milk, and possibly locally milled flour and that came make all the difference.

      There are a zillion recipes for banana bread...and one I found...depending on the egg to flour to liquid mixture...makes more of a sponge type bread...than a regular bread-different texture...was fun to eat....sort of a angel food sponge..but with bananas!

      This looks delicious, am going to cook it with the children today after their online schooling (school closed due to covid 19). Loving your website and emails, thanks.
