The first time I baked banana bread with the kids for a school party. Before that, I hadn't used bananas often in baked goods, and I was pleasantly surprised at how well they go with nuts and sweet baked goods. Such bread is appropriate for breakfast, and just for milk or coffee. The pulp is very porous and slightly moist, which provides a delicate taste.
Flavored banana bread with a porous crumb and a crispy crust will please all household members. Children who love unusual pastries will be especially delighted with him. It is important that all the ingredients for this dish are available and inexpensive.
