That looks yummy. Pretty plate, Annie. I love banana bread. Not much of a baker, but that's one thing I will make from time to time. Recently bought a loaf from one of our markets. No nuts. I need nuts to really enjoy banana bread. So I put whipped cream cheese on the slices and sprinkled chopped walnuts on the cream cheese. So good with coffee in the morning!

Making banana bread is on my agenda for tomorrow.

I used peanut butter powder for part of the flour last week.

We loved it.

Martha, you are the only other person I know who has said they buttered banana bread. We also buttered bran muffins, biscuits and cornbread.

Seagrass, I usually add nuts, but I've never used cream cheese. Now I'll have to try it. Maybe toast it?

Carol, I have a recipe that takes peanut butter and chocolate chips, my kids thought it was the perfect combination: bananas/peanut butter/chocolate. I thought it was a little sweet, more like cake than a quick bread, but it was pretty good anyway.

I don't usually want to be eating the butter, but I often did butter banana bread as a kid. Actually, it seems to me that most banana bread is too sweet for me and salted butter helps cut the perceived sweetness. I haven't made any in a decade, so it's the slices that people serve and watch you eat that I'm thinking of. And they do serve it with butter on the side to use on it, so I assume that it's a kind of normal thing here.

I like banana bread either with whipped cream cheese or peanut butter.

My Dh is forever commenting on the number of bananas in our freezer.......guess I best get at Banana Bread.

I use Nancy of the North's recipe, also uses sour cream ...very moist.

Annie and Martha , I butter my banana bread too as well as all muffins and most quick breads.

Toasted banana bread with peanut butter and jelly! I must be eating that sammich for at least 50 years. Now I want to make banana bread.

I'm always making banana bread, at behest of DH. I never butter mine, although my mother used to (and she loved the heels as well). I'm still searching for the perfect recipe, but most often use the banana banana bread recipe variants that use 5 bananas.

I did the same thing Annie, I wanted pumpkin bread but had just right bananas. OH man, is that ever GOOD! I have an old recipe I got from my sister...it is the best banana bread I've ever eaten. Bought some at a craft fair once and it was very disappointing compared!
