Notes
Banana Recipe Notes
The nuts and pineapple in the recipe are optional, but they add a mighty fine treat for the tastebuds!
You can keep the cream cheese glaze in the fridge for up to a week if you don't use right away. Simply remove from fridge, bring to room temperature or microwave for 10 seconds, and stir. DRIZZLE AWAY!
This recipe makes 2 loaf pans or 4 mini loafs. ....SOME TO SHARE!
A southern favorite self-rising flour for baking is White Lily. It is 100% Winter Wheat which adds a fantastically light texture to all baked goods. We also prefer the brand Dixie Crystal for sugar. I am not sure why...I guess it is just what we saw out mama's and grandma's use.
