Yesterday we took a look at deep-fried banana bread and since then it's the only thing that's consumed my brain. All bananas all the time. To help get my mind off the subject I've rounded up our favorite banana bread treats and am headed into the kitchen for some serious quality testing. Which recipe will you make tonight?

I combine Delia's and Nigella's banana bread recipes: a 50-50 mix of white & whole wheat; golden raisins soaked in rum, and pine nuts.
Found a great banana muffin recipe recently that is neither too sweet nor too bland, and is perfectly moist, relying on sour cream.
Finally, one of my favourite cakes is a banana-bourbon cake with flambéed bananas and a filling which is based on sour cream. (can be found on Martha's site; by Angèle Parlange of New Orleans)
My best tip for banana bread came from an older edition of JOY OF COOKING: add a good grating of lemon zest to the classic recipe. It really gives a great fillip to this old favorite!
This is great -- thank you for posting.
I love adding chocolate chips to my banana bread -- and the topping with toasted walnuts or sliced almonds.
can I freeze this for more than half an hour? Say a day ahead?
