Caramel Banana Loaf

The first time I was served banana bread for breakfast was on our honeymoon in Fiji many years ago. It is so delicious and the flavour of bananas is wonderful any time of the day. If you are eating it as a breakfast treat, it is especially nice lightly toasted, drizzled with maple syrup and topped with slices of fresh banana. Yumm ….

Over the years I have tried many recipes for banana cake and banana bread. Our all time favourite is Caramel Banana Loaf. I was looking for the recipe recently and was surprised that we haven’t posted it before as it is a big favourite in our home.

This week I baked a Caramel Banana Loaf for a friend. I baked it in a silicon paper liner, wrapped it with some printed greaseproof paper (purchased from this etsy store), and tied it with red and white bakers twine.

I have been experimenting more with the settings on my camera and with my backdrops to make my photos whiter and brighter. This recipe gave me the opportunity to try out my new white photography board. The Man of the House bought some lengths of pine lining and used them to make a board, which he spray painted white. It is the perfect back drop for craft and food photography. I hope to get him to make more in different colours. He did a terrific job on spray painting our red chair this week.
