The Banana Bread So Good It Was Served at Buckingham Palace (My Whole Family Loves It)

It’s packed full of banana flavor. This banana bread uses a unique butter-rubbing technique for a scone-like crust. Dried cherries, golden raisins, and walnuts add rich flavor and texture to the loaf. The recipe calls for a full pound of bananas, making it incredibly moist and banana-packed. My kitchen counter is always home to a pile of bananas invarious states of ripeness, so we have banana bread quite often. Despite it being a common snack around here, my kids were extra excited about this week’s loaf since it’s fit for a queen. Royal recipes are so fun to try out at home, especially when they’re fancied-up takes onthe familiar. Let me tell you, my five-year-old wolfed down her slice of this banana bread in seconds, and then she asked me for another slice. She liked everything about it and was dejected when I said we needed to stop snacking and save some room for dinner. I’m sure that when she gets home from school today, she’ll ask for more. Why I Love the Royal Family’s Banana Bread This super buttery, banana-packed loaf is different from any I’ve made before, in both the preparation and the resulting bread. You start by rubbing the butter (a whole stick of it) into the flour, a technique I’m more used to following for scones and other pastries than for quick breads. After that, you toss in dried cherries, raisins, and walnuts. To finish the batter, you mash up the bananas, stir in the eggs and vanilla, and then stir all of that into the flour mixture. Backing up a little bit, I did have a couple of questions when I read through the list of ingredients. First, I wasn’t sure if “cherries” meant fresh or dried ones, so I referred to royalChef Darren McGrady’s
