The Story Behind The Recipe
This was a treat that mum used to make for me when I was a kid and was one of her specials. Any time we had bananas left over that were just getting over-ripe, mum would mash them up and put them into her fab banana bread. This was and excellent snack especially good for me when I got home from school as it would keep me going until dinner time. Later mum would cook one for me and stash it in my bag before I left to go back to boarding school on Sunday evening. It was always a great and pleasurable surprise to open my bag on the Monday at school and find a fresh (sometimes still warm) loaf of banana bread waiting for me.
