Loaded Banana Bread - Coctail Size

This recipe is our favorite cupcake but we made it as a cocktail loaf thinking maybe the Baby or Baby Girl would take one of them into work to spread the sugar around.  The recipe can be found here

http://www.thefreshloaf.com/node/38172/banana-bread

The only change I made to it was putting 4 bananas in since they looked a little small and I used pecans instead of walnuts and It came out just as tasty as always even with the changes.  I can’t decide whether I should ice one of them or not.  Last time we didn’t and it was just fine as a naked loaf.

Speaking of naked.  Lucy want to start a new reality baking show set in the Ozark Mountains called – Be Afraid of Naked Crazy Hillbilly Bakers Acting Worse Than Usual.  I told her I didn’t think that many people would watch it until she told me who was going to be naked, who was going to be crazy and who would be acting worse than usual.  Now even I’m afraid to watch it and I see this stuff all the time around here.

you forget how good it is and this banana bread is awful nice.  The girls like the ribs this time a bit mire than usual.  I made a new batch of rub and it is different every time and this one made the ribs that much better we made some sausages too but no chicken this time.  Ice cream and whipped cream would put this over the top.

Happy baking Ian

and I am not generally fond of banana bread. It needs to have lots of stuff in it and yours certainly meets the bill. And, yes, icing is needed! ;-)

daughter don't like the raisins so it is all mine to snarf down.  I have ti freeze half though to spread it puit a bit.  You would like it - it is decadent.

wanting to smother that gorgeous bread with ice cream or whipping cream!  Icing it would be a desecration...

That is a flavour that needs to go with a sharp aged cheddar and a peaty single malt --- or at the very least a cup of strong dark roast...  Sheesh...

Gorgeous bake, as always ---- and just want to note that I've spent a ridiculous amount of time today going through your blog index and trying to tell myself that there just isn't enough time...(or room in the freezer, for that matter).  The ribs are just as tempting as the breads...

Thanks, and keep baking happy!

 glass of old vine zin - breakfast and dessert an no icing is required at all.  The hint of snickered fruits gives it a more elegant note too.  When ever i get too much bread in the freezer I just take it to the food bank.  I don't usually have too much baking 1 loaf a week but there is a quarter loaf of quite a few varieties in there right now.

Thankfully, Cousin Jay is coming for dinner on Saturday and he can take a few of them with him. After making ribs and other smoked meats for 50 years, we pretty much have that down pat.  I think I will smoke a 2 rib prime rib for Cousin Jay if I can find it in the freezer.

Just finished downing a couple of slices of this bread for breakfast- yummy it is.  Glad you liked the posts.  I like to go back to what ever week I am living and reliving those same past weeks from the blog.  That way I only read 5 of them a week and, in a year, re-read the whole blog:-)

too many of the bourbon fruits when she had that inspiration? Or is she just leaking shocking details about a certain baker she's apprenticed to? Will her show air nationwide? If she needs a kickstarter to crowd-fund it - I would pitch in!

I looked at your recipe, your banana bread seems, indeed, bursting with good stuff. I like the idea of individual cupcakes, since we are only two, and I shrink all my cakes to miniature sizes.

Give an ear rub to Lucy,

favorite desserts!  The perfect portion control:-)  While the baker does come from a long line of Ozark Mountain hillbillies and moonshiners,  Lucy is pretty much a floozy when she isn't sleeping.  She needs no hooch or hemo for that matter, to help her dream up all kinds of strange things not fit for man or beast.  You have to have a bad combination of being determined, stupid and crazy to want to go down in a hole and drag out a badger 3 times your size for sport.  But she really wants to do so - quite badly it seems -but it is fun to watch her digging away like a fine tuned machine.

She needs an ear rub after rolling around in the back yard in the sun  Now she is covered in dirt and nt a badger in sight!  

Glad you liked the post and happy baking Karin
