Almond Banana Bread

I think the number one homemade bread in North America has to be the infamous banana bread. Anyone who has ever made a loaf of bread at home has made a banana bread at some point, I’m sure.

Well, have you ever eaten a banana bread made with yeast? The texture and flavor is amazing and I wanted to share this recipe with you.

Now, you could make this bread into loaves, but I made it more like a focaccia style bread and topped it with an almond mixture and sliced bananas. The almond topping really adds, to the over all flavor of the bread. This bread is moist and soft with a banana flavor, but when you bite into this bread you almost have a cinnamon bun style texture that is truly wonderful to eat. I really don’t think you can go back to the regular quick bread style banana bread after eating this …. in my opinion of course. A truly unique and delicious bread that I hope you will all give a try.

    The bread looks sublime! The most original banana bread I’ve seen. Almond and banana goes so well together, I have no doubt this bread tastes amazing.

    Hi, I love your blog. Thanks for sharing.

    I recently bought 4 small aluminiun loaf pan with cover. Besides using it to bake the classic loaf of bread, would like to seek your advice on how best I can use them. They looked simply too cute not to buy them.

    Yum! That topping looks great!

    I use banana in my cinnamon roll recipe (a yeast one), and it is divine!

    That’s a big slab of sweet dessert. Just need a bit of vanilla ice cream on top!

    This looks fantastic! Just when I thought there was nothing new to be done with banana bread. Sounds delicious too.

    I am the one person who has made bread but never a banana bread. :)
    I love bananas and love bread, but don’t like bananas in baked stuff.
    Looking at your banana bread, I might be convinced to change my mind, I think.
