As if it was not already a terrific and enjoyable visit the other weekend from Virginia friends, an unexpected bonus showed up in the form of an Amazon delivery containing the wonderful Claire Saffitz's new cookbook: Dessert Person. With bananas at a past-ready stage lingering on the counter last Friday, I set to work to try my first recipe, for almond butter banana bread. It proved to be a tasty alternative take on a classic, warm and tender and with a balanced flavor and sweetness. As you might notice in the picture above, it paired nicely with some of the vanilla ice milk I had tucked away in the overstuffed freezer.
I was left still with a few bananas and figured I'd go ahead with another untried recipe the next day, this one from fellow Wake Forest University grad student and fellow hall director, Laura Brogden: Wanda's Banana Bread. It was the more traditional take on it and also came out pretty awesome.
