"I bought this 'local' recipe book from a church in Firebaugh Calif. I've enjoyed many of the recipes the Women put together...this one has been a family favorite. You can make it different everytime, but our favorite Banana Bread comes from this recipe!"

I tried it with peaches and crystalized ginger, it was a big hit. This will be a keeper since it is just the right texture and not heavy.

Lovely bread. Nice and moist. I chose the raspberry option as my add in. :)
