Banana bread is a typical American dessert that became famous all over the world, especially during the 2020 lockdown.<\/p>\n
The reasons are simple: banana bread is really easy to make, it can be cooked in infinite variations and it is a very tasty way not to waste fruit that may be a little blackened.<\/p>\n
In addition, it is so good that it even deserved a day of celebration: in the USA, in fact, the National Banana Bread Day is celebrated on 23 February.<\/p>\n
The first cookbook showing the banana bread recipe dates back to the 1930s: it is in this period, therefore, that a homemade dessert is institutionalized, from the hands of housewives who, during the Great Depression, creatively recycled any leftover, including slightly overripe bananas.<\/p>\n
The ingredients of traditional banana bread, in fact, are very simple: flour, eggs, sugar, butter, milk, cinnamon, yeast and, of course, mashed ripe bananas.<\/p>\n
Also eaten alone, like a real cake, banana bread is born as bread: to be cut into slices, toasted and spread with butter and jam.<\/p>\n
Like any successful recipe, even that of banana bread, over time, has lent itself to countless variations, always delicious.<\/p>\n
For a light and healthy banana bread you can replace the butter by adding yogurt to the dough. For those who are lactose intolerant or follow a vegan diet, it is always possible to use vegetable milks: the almond or coconut one are delicious in combination with bananas!<\/p>\n
Enriching banana bread and turning it into an exquisite dessert is child’s play.<\/p>\n
The chopped walnuts will give a crunchy note, the chocolate chips will melt during cooking, enhancing the softness of the dough and, if you prefer spicy flavors, remember that a pinch of nutmeg will make the dessert even more fragrant.<\/p>\n
Banana is a versatile fruit, excellent on its own and particularly suitable for the preparation of desserts, pancakes and even our fresh ice cream of the day!<\/p>\n
We serve banana ice cream all year round and carefully select the degree of ripeness of the fruits, so that it is sweet at the right point and super creamy.<\/p>\n
