Guatemalan Banana Bread - Pao De Banano

Submitted by Olha7397

"(pow day bah-nah-noh) Banana quick breads are widely popular. Americans tend to load theirs with walnuts. This Guatemalan version is distinctive with lime, allspice and cinnamon. Many quick breads are versatile enough to go from the breakfast table to the dinner table; this one is sweet enough to serve as a teacake."
