Oldest DD's bf called his mom for her mother's banana bread recipe,. This, after discovering perfectly ripe bananas in as in the fridge....he was cleaning it out, yay.
It was a really nice hour in the kitchen, with him, and youngest DD. I've never had banana bread with such a chewy thick crust of caramelized yumminess. The bf was dubious about replacing Wesson oil with avocado oil....said we "couldn't tell his mom," made the substitution, and continued following the recipe, as though it was a magic spell.
There's things one can mess with, and things one can't.
After pan selection angst, and the unhappy face bf's father had attempted pan substitutions, without success, everything turned out beautifully.
