Going through my feed a few weeks ago, I saw this delicious looking banana bread that was darker in color than what I’m used to seeing. It was made by Robin at Sweetish Co. and was made with dark brown sugar instead of the usual granulated white sugar.
It looked so rich that I knew I had to try it too. If I made it, she wanted me to let her know what I thought about it. Well, it’s amazingly delicious! I think it’s the best version of banana bread I’ve ever made!
Because of the brown sugar, the bread has a caramelized banana taste to it. Wow! Thanks Sweetish.Co . I have converted and now have a new recipe for banana bread!
