At Dovecote Café in Baltimore, this banana bread is one of many awesome baked goods served on a daily basis. The recipe comes from owner Aisha Pew’s mother, Gilda Bain-Pew, and includes super-ripe bananas and a hit of banana liqueur (but it’s still quite good without the liqueur).Slideshow:More Banana Bread Recipes
Not only is it the best . . . but I use almond flour.. Delish. Love it.
This look amazing, making this TODAY ❤️ One question - can I use brown sugar instead?
Have a fav. banana bread recipe dating back to my high school home ec. class. Never thought about finding a replacement recipe. Then this recipe from Food & Wine caught my attention; being sequestered during Coronavirus wanted to try. Surprisingly, I am over the moon with this recipe and made it exactly as instructed. Will make again . . . and again. My former, more ingredient recipe just got replaced. One question: can Smashed-Banana Bread recipe be doubled? Thank you.
yummy! i made it with Spiced Rum and less time. had to make my own cafe inspired goodies in quarantine to have teatime/coffee.
Growing up eons ago, my mom's banana bread was always a huge treat. Her recipe was lost years ago and since then I've tried dozens of recipes in search of something close to Mom's. Found it! So moist, so delicious, it's a real challenge for me to wait for the bread to cool after coming out of the oven before I cut a big slice, slather it with butter (because Mom put butter on everything!), and enjoy. First two loaves I made without banana liqueur or dark rum and they were outstanding. Next three loaves I made with the dark rum and they were equally delicious. Make. This. Bread.
I’ve been searching for the best banana bread recipe and this - hands down - is it. I use four ripe frozen bananas thawed (there always seems to be one we can eat in time!), the dark rum option, and bake for just 75 minutes as it was overdone my first try at 90 minutes. It’s perfection especially warm with a bit of goos butter.
amazing bread! I did not add the alcohol and I’m lactose intolerant, so I used vegan butter and sour cream.
EXCERLLENT..even without the banana liqueur..I DID uses 3 bananas..its one of the best!
Love simple recipe and can't wait to try it!
