Miso Banana Bread

I've recently been obsessed with miso, putting it in pasta, sauces, and now, in banana bread! The miso here works surprisingly well, giving the classic banana bread a whole new layer of robust savoriness, just like the best salted caramel and dark chocolate with sea salt. I took inspiration from a recipe| New Window by Jamie Bissonnette and Ken Oringer, two James Beard Award–winning Bostonian chef-icons, and adapted their idea into another banana bread recipe that I’ve been using for some time now, one I picked up from a restaurant-bakery I used to work at in Kuala Lumpur.
