Hello

I was just thinking about looking up a recipe for banana bread and came across your posting.

Thank you kindly

Hello...just thought I would give you some feedback on your Apple Butter Banana Bread.

I made it with 1 Cup Spelt Flour and the rest bread flour..and the texture was perfect!

I used the 2 small very ripe bananas but would add a 3rd if I had it next time to increase the
banana flavor.

The instructions you gave were perfect and my family absolutely loved it!

Thank you soooo much :flowerforyou:

The recipe sounds SO yummy!! I was just wondering what size of a slice would be considered a 'serving'? I'm hoping to make it soon but want to know how much I can eat. Thanks :happy:

hmm. you could probably cut down on the salt or even omit it since you have both baking soda and baking powder (common in banana bread recipes).

i HATE adding salt to anything unless i have to.

i almost always omit it from my challah recipes and no one notices. or i add a dash when i'm making the yeast mixture.

for a "serving", its about 3/4 inches. that's fairly typical.

that sounds pretty good. the only thing i'm wondering, though - apple butter is high in calories...

the best banana bread i've ever made...well i don't share recipes, sorry (not my best ones) but it had berries in it and a crumble topping

still, 160 calories...i'm in.

pound cakes and banana breads are also great alternatives for birthday cakes.

The apple butter I use is a brand called Kimes...it has 20 calories in a tablespoon.
It is made from fresh apples...is fat free...has no sugar or sodium added and no preservatives.

I think a normal serving would to be to cut about 1/2" thick, slice.
