Black and White Banana Loaf - TwD
Tuesday, August 5, 2008 at 12:03AM 
If it's Tuesday, then I'm baking with Dorie. And take a look at the fun recipe for this week... a banana bread with chocolate!! If you're a fan of banana bread... and you're a fan of chocolate... you're gonna love this one :)
This week's TwD host was Ashlee of A Year In The Kitchen and she picked one of the more unique recipes in Dorie Greenspan's book Baking From My Home To Yours. Sure, anyone can make banana loaf... and many of us have made several of the them... but a marble-y one with chocolate is kinda spay-shul ;-) I'm actually allergic to bananas... and not a big fan of chocolate... so I made this for my family and friends. Nothin say lovin like somethin fresh from the oven.... right??? Riiiii-iiiight :)
And yeah, I know it's called a banana LOAF... and I know it's supposed to be made in a LOAF pan, but I have this really cool Calphalon pan that I was just dying to use... and bein the rebel that I am... I decided to use it! I made individual mini-sized, square-shaped loaves cuz yeah, that's just the way I roll.
Check out the other TwD bakers and their version of this nifty recipe from Dorie. And next time you feel a lil hankerin comin on for some nanner-bread, make this recipe. Hey... did I mention it's got rum in it? Ohhhhhhh yeah!
Have a delicious day :)

Gorgous marble, and adorable mini pan! So sorry you couldn't enjoy the bread! Hopefully you don't have any dairy allergies to so you can enjoy the next recipe!
The pan is adorable! I love it - and the mini loaves are lovely too. I'm sure everybody loved them.

Lovin' your mini loaves! You're quite a marbling master. I've never been able to make them look quite that pretty.

Alergic to bananas???I have never heard of that.
I saw that pan at Bend Bath and Beyond..and I talked myself out of needing it. Well maybe I DO just need it!!
Okay, I love that pan. I must have that pan. And I'm blaming part of my baking pan proliferation on you now, because those look adorably delicious.
Ooooh, cool pan! It's almost like it was made just for individual marbled quick bread recipes.
They look fantastic!
ooooh...i'm having baking pan envy (only amongst baking bloggers can I admit this without having to explain myself!).
Looking at how cute and gorgeous your little squares turned out, I must get the pan!!!!!

Love the mini-loaves! I would have been scared that they'd be too dry in mini-pans, but they look just perfect.
Great idea...and hey, I own that pan.
THAT is a great pan, and it's great that you used it. The loaves turned out beautifully.
Love the little square loaves!!
