Years ago I was supplying a deli in Boston with my Banana Bread and Cheesecake. My best friend Dan Davis came to visit and quickly got into the habit of eating the cheesecake and banana bread together. He suggested the cheesecake would be delicious with banana bread as the crust. He was right! The chunks of chocolate are a natural conclusion to gilding the lily. [An additional benefit to making this recipe is that you will also have a loaf of banana bread when you have finished.] Notice that there is no refined sugar or white flour in this recipe. ....It's healthy, too!

I saw a video of Bon Apetit on El Rey's Sesame Banana Bread and I tried it out myself. It was delicious and the best banana bread I've ever tasted! The nuttiness of the sesames spread all around the bread contrasted delightedly with the sweetness of the bananas.

This recipe is an iteration of a recipe for banana bread that my mother originally found and made from William-Sonoma that was published in the 90s. I've adapted it over the years to be what I think is the ideal recipe. Caramelized bananas are the secret to a richer, deeply banana flavor. I love making this bread and freezing one loaf for whenever it's needed in the future.

"Simple yet significant"

This is one of my favorite recipes and I am always being asked to make it for events. It is so simple yet so amazing, I have been making it for years and it still never ceases to amaze me.

This is an old recipe from Cookie magazine (RIP). I've customized it a bit over the years. It's a flexible, simple recipe and so straightforward that my 5-year old now helps me make it.

I have to give credit where credit is due, this loaf was inspired by 3 great cooks. Martha Stewarts recipe for a moist and flavorful banana bread, Antonia James delicious spiced pecans and Merrills cardamom banana milkshake. This recipe makes one 9x5x3 loaf or 3 mini loaves. Its moist and flavorful and the hint of spice from pecans makes it even better.

Classic Banana Bread with a little crunch. You can always tweak the sugar on this recipe, and it will not change the end product. I like to have some small chunks of banana to add texture, so don't over mashed it.

A rift on the classic banana bread! Adding whole wheat to the mix, makes it a bit more like bread and less like dessert and the toasted coconut provides texture and flavor! We also use cane sugar instead of regular white sugar, because we believe it has more flavor. Recipe adapted from http://www.geniuskitchen.com/recipe/best-banana-bread-2886.

I have a fascination with bread puddings and try them at different places as often as possible. Bread puddings are so open to interpretation and i love seeing the nuances between different interpretations.
