CHRISTMAS BANANA BREAD

Exceptionally moist and not too "cakey", this is lightly spiced with Indian spices - cinnamon, mace and ground ginger. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream and candied walnuts. Number of servings is an estimate - makes 1 loaf.

CHRISTMAS BANANA BREAD



Christmas Banana Bread image

This is one of my favorite banana breads. I love bananas, but the ones available in the US are not as tasty as the Brazilians, so banana bread is my way of enjoying this fruit. I am not criticizing, it is just that bananas grow all over Brazil, from North to South, so it is just obvious we have better ones there! ;-)
