Introduction
- Warm banana bread with a dab of butter melting on top is almost irresistible. While you can often buy banana bread (or at least banana bread mix) at the store, there's nothing like bread, with real bananas, made from scratch. Not only does it tickle the tummy, but your nose is in for a treat as well while your bread bakes in the oven. Banana bread is a quick bread leavened by baking soda, baking powder or both, so it doesn't take long to make and involves no kneading.AllRecipes: Baking Quick Breads
