Hi Shelia! Thank you so much for your sweet comment and welcome! I haven’t tried Heidi’s recipe, actually, and am so happy you pointed me towards it. We’ve finally unpacked the kitchen and I’ve got an itch to make. Happy weekend to you!

Hi, Megan. I’ve recently discovered your blog and LOVE it. I’ve been reading back to the beginning and having a great time trying some new recipes.

If you haven’t yet given it a go, also try making Heidi Swanson’s Lemony Olive Oil Banana Bread — another awesome way to use those old bananas. Here’s the link: http://www.101cookbooks.com/archives/lemony-olive-oil-banana-bread-recipe.html

Hope you’re getting all settled in at your new home… We (husband + son + daughter) just moved a couple months ago so can relate to the joy + little bit of chaos!

I am making this for the second time! Its perfect, and that extra zest from the ginger is a stellar combo in the banana bread! I have 6 roomates and lets just say… it didnt last very long. Thanks! What would you do with Quinoa for a desert?

I did this recipe, too – when her book came out last winter. It is SOO good. I ended up using sour cream since my yogurt had turned when I went to use it. It worked well, too!

Hey Mardi-I would substitute walnuts. Plenty of chocolate chips as it is. I think it'd be great! And Denise, it's so funny because the few people that I've talked to that have made the bread said it turned out a bit dry for them. The exact opposite was true for me: mine was actually a little too gooey (which probably has to do with cooking time more than anything). But I did use Greek-style yogurt…maybe that has a role?

This recipe caught my eye too. I tried using the batter to make muffins a while back. I adjusted the temp and baking time for muffins, they smelled fantastic, but they were just too dry. I'll have to try the bread. Yours looks good.

Mmmmm – I might have to use the brown bananas in our house for this over the weekend! Though I don't much like ginger so I would have to add extra chocolate chips, I guess?!?! Or some walnuts….
