Banana Bread!

[Mark Moreland]

As we have all noticed in today's blog (Feb 19), Sean provided a nice banana bread for his playtest group for Bastards of Erebus. What you can't see is that I gave him that recipe around Christmas time last year. Every holiday season my mom would make this and I would eat far more than I should have. In college she'd send me several loaves that wouldn't last more than a few days. Now I make it all the time and impress everyone who assumes that I don't know how to cook.

Do you want to eat the same yummy banana bread as game designer extraordinaire Sean K Reynolds?

When I lived in OK, there was a lady in Stillwater who made zucchini bread. While I could hardly believe it, it was amazing.

What if I want to make 1 loaf and I'm bad with ratios? ;)

I'd suggest cutting the recipe in half and having a slightly larger loaf then normal. You might need to cook it a bit longer to get the middle done, though I like it a little gooey. Use a toothpick to see if it's done.

So, I'm unfamiliar with your American weightings and such, blame me, I'm european.

What does the C stand for? How much would that be?
tsp means teaspoon?

Thanks!

K, so I know how much a teaspoon is, but how much is a cup?

According to the first hit on Google, 1 cup = 110 grams.

My wife likes to make banana bread on occasion.

Odwalla makes an banana bread health bar. It actually tastes like banana bread, and it's good for you, too.
