Enjoy it for breakfast, brunch or a mid afternoon pick-me-up any day of the week.
Cinnamon Toffee Banana Nut Bread
I can't bear to throw over ripe bananas away, so the smell of banana bread is often wafting through our house. Funny, I've never received a single complaint. Ever. I gave this loaf a cinnamon toffee twist, but replacing the toffee with the same amount of chocolate chips happens just as often. Serve it toasted, slathered with honey butter, cinnamon cream cheese or my kids favorite, peanut butter. I like it just the way it is. It's a wonderful treat with a cup of coffee or hot tea, and freezes beautifully, too.
