Marie's Banana Bread/Cake image

Too many years ago I got a blue ribbon for this recipe. Beat out the city sheriff!! LOL Sweet feeling of a win over him!! Anyway the different thing about this recipe is you fry your bananas. It is really, really good and I have made this for at least 30 years. Hope you enjoy it as much as my family and friends have.

  • 5. Brown Sugar Glaze: Heat 1/2 cup brown sugar and 3 tablespoons of butter until boiling point(if too thick add about 1 tablespoon of water). Put on top of bread; add crushed nuts.
  • 6. Note; Baking time will depend on your oven. Check bread/cake after about 45 minutes.
