Banana Tea Bread
Banana Tea Bread
This is one of many different Banana Tea Bread recipes that have evolved over the years. Mine is a simple basic recipe we used in the shop for years. There was a time when I decide to upgrade a few of our old recipes and this was one of them. I spiced it up a little with cinnamon and nutmeg: Bad move, the sales plummeted within two or three weeks to almost zero. So, lesson learned, as the old saying goes “If it ain’t broken, Don’t fix it”.
