Food history and culture
The loaf that made ripe bananas worth saving
Where it began
Banana bread became especially popular as home bakers looked for practical ways to use very ripe bananas. The rise of baking powder and baking soda helped turn it into the tender quick bread people know today.
The Nigerian connection
It has stayed popular because it feels unfussy and comforting: part breakfast, part dessert and always welcome with tea or coffee.
