Arghhh banana bread. It's the fail-safe, comfort food breakfast favourite of almost everyone I know (unless you dislike bananas that is?! Do such people even exist?!). It's also number one on my 'procrastibaking' list, when the stresses of life get that little too much and all that will save me (or so I'm convinced!) is a healthy dose of cooking 'escapism' and the promise of baked goods.     Yep, when I spy some bananas in our fruit bowl looking a little too 'tanned' shall we say, whipping us this banana bread is the ONLY acceptable solution.

I’m quite partial to a hearty bowl of steaming, thick porridge for breakfast, but sometimes this warm bowl of comfort just doesn’t cut it.

Whether it be slicing into a crusty, sourdough boule; slathering housemade fruit bread with butter or one of my favourite loaves of all time…. freshly baked, warm banana bread.     Hence, why one of the first recipes to be featured on this site, is just that.
