The History of the Humble Banana Bread

The story of banana bread is a classic tale of smart baking. It rose to prominence in the 1930s, not in a fancy bakery, but in American home kitchens during the Great Depression. Resourceful home bakers couldn’t bear to waste overripe bananas, and so they began incorporating the sweet, mushy fruit into quick breads (breads leavened with baking soda/powder instead of yeast). This not only prevented waste but also added incredible moisture and natural sweetness to the bread. It was a win-win. Our recipe today is a modern, luxurious twist on that classic, depression-era innovation.
