...although I'd prefer the bread.
In fact, I've chosen banana bread over death in the past.
Apparently the best banana bread to be had is available from Julia's Best Banana Bread on Maui in a tiny village off one of the most perilous and nerve-wracking stretches of road anywhere in the world. We got surprisingly close to the village once, but the final stretch of road before getting there raised enough red flags to get us to turn back. A narrow, one-lane road, with blind hair-pin turns along the edge of a cliff with a sheer drop-off on one side, and a soaring rock wall on the other. The VW at the bottom of the cliff sitting as an explicit testament to the potential severity of the situation. Since we were in a rental car we figured it may be most prudent to actually be able to return the vehicle.
Still Julia's beckons. One day, little bread, one day...
In the meanwhile, in my quest to get as close to the best loaf possible without risking life or violation of an automobile rental contract, I stumbled across this blog. The recipe seemed simple enough, boasts as being "the best banana bread ever" (Hear that? EVER!!!), so I gave it a whirl.
I don't doubt the superiority of Julia's bread, but until I have tangible proof, I have to say this stuff is currently sitting in first place.
Still curious? I direct you now to the Foodess for what I'm titling "Possibly the best banana bread ever but then again I've valued my life over adventure in the past and haven't tried Julia's yet". You may amend the title as you see fit.
