Banana Brawl
The Snackdown Banana Bread competition transcends all loyalties and pits grandmother against grandmother in a no holds barred, spit-out-your-teeth-and-throw-another-elbow battle. You know that my grandmother's recipe is the standard against all other recipes are competing. The second competitor is a recipe from my other grandmother. Here's how it fared:
Banana Bread #2, Banana Oat Pecan Bread
This recipe uses corn oil; I subbed canola because it is healthier. I also omitted the nuts, because I don't really like nutty bread. It included oats, which gave it a rough texture, but still rather moist. The biggest drawback to the recipe was the lack of sweetness and a slight bitterness, perhaps from the baking powder. Sorry Granny, but this recipe suffered some career-ending blows.
