If you love to eat banana bread, then you probably have a few recipes. However, this tasty treat is not really a true bread because it is made from mashed bananas. The banana bread has a moist texture and a consistent sweetness. It is usually baked as a quick bread instead of a yeast bread. Banana bread has been popular for a while, but it wasn't widely known until 1893 when The Vienna Model Bakery advertised banana bread in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. This bakery was one of the first to produce banana bread in the United States, and it was owned by Gaff, Fleischmann & Company. These banana bread are made with variations like banana raisin bread, banana nut bread, chocolate chip banana bread, banana bread muffins. Banana bread is a delicious baked good, and it is classified as a quick bread or tea cake.
