Believe it or not, I’m not much of a dessert person. I realize my vegan marshmallow sandwich may have you thinking otherwise, but, really, I don’t have a huge sweet tooth. I do, however, enjoy a little post-dinner nosh. This week I opted for a sweet bread (see? truly on a bread making kick!) and a fruity “butter” (ala the Peachy Butter I made a few weeks ago).

I am totally going to try that banana butter recipe!
I used the banana butter on a rice cake the other day… YUM!
That sounds heavenly. I love how flexible an idea it is, I can see it creeping into pancakes/crepe fillings, spread on top of muffins…. oooh, very hungry now!
Sounds like a perfect fall time dessert, or breakfast!
Indeed, I had it for breakfast yesterday! I love that enjoy something sweet that can be a meal or a treat…but who’s to say meals aren’t treats, right? 😉
Banana butter?!? No way! That sounds awesome. I’m a huge ‘butter’ fan (i.e. apple butter, pumpkin butter, etc). And I love bananas! Thanks for the recipe. Looks delish!
So far my bread making skills have been less than stellar but this one looks very tempting….I may just have to try it!
You are really tempting me to get a bread machine with all these great bread recipes!
BANANA BUTTER? Genius! I can’t think of anything better to spread over my banana nut bread.
Oh, man! Banana butter? I have to try that! Your bread looks wonderful, also. I love cinnamon and raisins in bread.
Banana butter? YES!
Your bread-making kick is making me want to get a bread machine…not that I need another appliance in the kitchen. I do, however, love bananas and cinnamon!
This looks simply fabulous, you’ve outdone yourself!
This looks absolutely delicious. The butter would be SO good on waffles.
