Description

At high elevation, baking quick bread can be frustrating — sinking in the center, spilling over the pan, or baking unevenly. This high-altitude banana bread, developed by Nicole Hampton (who lives at 5,000 feet), solves those challenges for fellow mountain bakers. The loaf delivers a moist, tender crumb reminiscent of pound cake; rich banana sweetness (ripe bananas are key!); and just the right amount of home-baked comfort.
