Rabbit’s Carrot Cake is an old recipe from The Fanny Farmer Cookbook. The last time I made it I changed it up a bit and made it as cupcakes. However, this week I needed something for a breakfast event and made it as a loaf. So technically it’s carrot cake, but since it’s in a...

I got the idea for Mexican Chocolate Banana Bread on Twitter. However, the version someone tweeted called for actual Mexican chocolate, and I didn’t have that. What I did have were 3 very ripe bananas, some good quality cocoa powder and cinnamon. Here’s the result! Coming up with this recipe was pretty easy because there...

Sour cream banana bread is probably my favorite, but the one I usually end up making (because I don’t always have sour cream) is the current Betty Crocker recipe. Recently, I found a new Betty Crocker banana bread that people recommend. Okay, so it’s not so new. It’s from the Betty Crocker Cookbook from 1972,...

You may not know the name Dominique Ansel, but you’ve probably heard of his most famous creation. Dominique Ansel invented the “Cronut”, a cross between a doughnut and a croissant. Prior to the Cronut, Ansel was known for The DKA, a flaky, buttery pastry about the size of a muffin. I actually prefer the DKA...

A few weeks ago I tried the Dominique Ansel banana bread recipe, so in keeping with the “Celebrity Chef Banana Bread” theme, here’s a recipe from Flour Bakery’s Joanne Chang. The Flour Bakery “Famous Banana Bread” recipe has been around for a while and has good reviews from just about everyone. In my opinion, Famous...

My daughter and I are having a hard time deciding which banana bread recipe we like better — Famous Banana Bread from Flour Bakery, or this banana bread with sour cream and oil. I’ve had the recipe for years but kind of forgot about it until recently when I was going through all my sour...

I’ve been baking various banana breads back-to-back in an attempt to find a true favorite. As of now the favorite is Banana Bread Made with Sour Cream and Oil, but this Banana Walnut Bread is good too. At first glance, this banana walnut bread recipe appears similar to the banana bread made with oil. However,...

Years ago Starbucks gave out cards featuring a recipe for banana bread similar to the one sold in the shop. It’s made its rounds on the Internet and is known as “Starbucks Banana Bread Copycat”, but how close is it to the original? That’s what I wanted to know, so I bought a slice of...

I found “Chocolate Tahini Banana Bread” in the most recent issue of Cooking Light, and based on all the accolades from the test kitchen, I knew I had to make it immediately. Alas, we were on an airplane to Paris and I had to wait a week (boo hoo). But I didn’t forget about the...

More fun with the baked donut pan! These chocolate chip donuts uses applesauce, spices and miniature chocolate chips. I don’t have much to say about these other than that they were an excuse to use my donut pan AND that they are very good as far as baked donuts go. If you try them, let...

After years of hearing about it, I finally bought a copy of The Silver Palate Cookbook. I’m in love! I’ve bookmarked more than a few recipes, and so far I’ve made two including the popular Silver Palate Banana Bread. Here’s my very late-to-the-party review of this banana bread recipe. On paper, what distinguishes The Silver...

This is my Cinco de Mayo Banana Bread! It’s only Cinco de Mayo in that I sprinkled the top with cinnamon sugar, so after May 5 you might call it Chocolate Banana Bread. Or better yet, Dark Chocolate Banana Bread because it is very dark. It’s made with Dutch Processed Hershey’s Dark Cocoa and dark...

Today’s recipe is in honor of the late Flo Braker, a legendary home baker, teacher and cookbook author who passed away last month. While Braker wrote several cookbooks and collaborated with famous chefs including Julia Child, she was probably most known for her food articles in The San Francisco Chronicle. Since 1989 she’d contributed hundreds...

If you have some shortening leftover from Thanksgiving pie making, you might want to try Kona Inn Banana Bread. It’s a banana bread made with shortening rather than butter, so it keeps well and has a very appealing texture. And with six bananas there’s loads of banana flavor! This recipe is very old and well-loved,...

I don’t think I’ll ever find a “best ever” banana bread, but this one comes close! It’s the Best Ever Banana Bread from Taste of Home, and while I’m sure I’ve tried it, I couldn’t find the recipe in my files. As I write this, the recipe has 5 well-deserved stars and 406 reviews. It’s...

I’m of the belief that almost any quick bread is better with a swirl of cheesecake running through it, but I don’t always take the time (or have the cream cheese) to make that happen. As luck would have it, I had an odd amount of cream cheese in the refrigerator and my usual overload...

Another day, another banana bread recipe. This time I’m sharing one which I’d count as one of my two favorite recipes. The two favorites are Best Ever Banana Bread (which you can read about in another post) and this High Rising Banana Bread The Best Ever Banana Bread is sweeter, heavier and more cake-like, while...

Also known as The Banana Bread Man’s Banana Bread, this recipe was inspired by a man in Florida who used to ride around on a bike selling banana bread. The original version is a spice bread with bananas, chocolate chips and several types of dried fruit. I didn’t have the dried fruit, so I just...

The other day I stumbled upon something quite rare — a banana bread recipe I haven’t tried. Or maybe I have. Who knows? With so many banana bread recipes it’s all a blur, but I don’t think I would have forgotten this one and am adding it to my ever growing list of number one,...

I have some other great pumpkin bread recipes, but couldn’t resist adding this one to the collection. As much as I like the others, this might be my new favorite. It bakes up with a nice dome, freezes beautifully, and slices neatly with no crumbs. Plus each slice fits quite nicely into the sealable food...
