Double-Banana Bread

Dried banana chips pump up the flavor in and on top of this bread. The crunchy banana-cereal topping is a bonus.

Expert Tips

Bananas contain vitamin B6, also called pyridoxine. Vitamin B6 is important for digesting proteins—plus it helps to keep hair and nerves healthy.

The special crunchy topping works best when the cereal is crushed and the banana chips are chopped to pieces about the same size. Pat the topping lightly onto the batter to assure it won't fall off after baking.

It was ok. I was not a big fan of the topping and it burned with not even an hour in the oven. After taking the topping off the middle was tasty. I also found it very hard to cut into 16 slices. I'm going to try the other banana bread recipe for now!
