Today, on 23 February, we celebrate Banana Bread Day! The nostalgia kicks in as soon as the aroma of a freshly baked banana bread wafts through the air. No one can resist a warm slice of banana bread, with the classic crunchy crust and soft cakey centre, served with a good helping of butter!
It is believed that around the 1930’s, housewives needed a use for overripe bananas, as they were an expensive commodity back then. At the same time, baking powder became popular and so the banana bread was born!
