Colombian Pan De Banano....

….aka Banana bread, with white chocolate chips and pecans!

It took me a while to figure out what to make for this stop of our Culinary Tour 2010, hosted by Joan of Foodalogue.. Eventually, I stumbled upon recipe after recipe for Banana bread…., and then it became very clear and apparent what exactly I had to do. Namely, make some.

See, I have tried it once before, sort of…..

Actually, my friend, S made the bread (she is a BBE: Banana Bread Expert, churning loaf after loaf, of exportable commodity. Yes her BB has travelled from Europe to the States….., though not for me). While she worked hard, I stood by taking loads of photos and learning all her tips and tricks.

Monkey bread, Banana bread

Slice it upI’ve never fancied Banana breads or muffins.  Never courted them, craved them or sought them out in a crowd. Not when I was young and my Liberian-American aunt made it with Rice Flour. I just couldn’t imagine how over-ripe bananas could morph into something glowing…. till I met my friend, S.

Kids obey you parents and it will be well with you. So says the Word of God. And its true.

My mum always said, pick your friends with care and caution :-) . . . if only for Banana bread!
