For the last 2 yrs. I have tried several you tube videos for banana bread. I have tried recipes for bb from relatives, friends, magazines, cook 📚. I love my dad he's a great cook never measures. So i seen your dads banana bread and figured if it comes out like my dads food it will be perfect. I made 2 loaves hands down it is the greatest i have ever tasted. I used 🍯 in mine. I will cherish this bb recipe for the rest of my life. Thx u so much
Cried happy tears when I saw the potato masher come out just because it’s one of those crazy-cute-makes-no-sense-yet makes-all-the-sense-in-world things our parents do that we fondly remember them for. Today we call them “hacks” but they are soooo much more than that. Thank you so much for sharing this with us. Never seen you before today; so glad I found your video and channel.
Christine, the first time I watched your video, the cinnamon and nutmeg combination threw me off but I was determined to try it. This banana bread is CRAZY GOOD just like you said. So delicious and moist. Thank you for sharing one of the most delicious I have had in my life, I'm 72 years young and THANKS Tony!
Greeks are notorious for not sharing their recipes. My mom always skips out all kinds of ingredients and when I tell her I made the recipe and it sucked she always says, no worries agapi mou I will make you some LOL. Thanks to your channel I have mastered quite of a few of her recopies and I wouldn't dare tell her that yours are better. I have always been proud of you, back in the days with CTV when you had a cooking show I was always saying now there is a great Greek chef who does things right. I am so happy that you are sharing your dads recopies and of course Greek traditional ones with everyone. You ROCK!! Keep them coming :)
My oven at 350 degrees took longer than 25 minutes. I followed the instructions to the letter. It smells incredible and I can’t wait to taste. I used fresh nutmeg. I love the aroma of fresh nutmeg. I used pure vanilla. Anytime I have three ripened bananas I will be looking for this recipe to make my banana nut bread. Oh I also used walnuts. I’ll let you know when I taste it how it came out. Thanks for sharing your wonderful recipe.
Ohh!! Thanks for sharing this recipe. I baked today and am very happy . In fact I need to go to the kitchen and cut another slice. That’s how nice the banana bread is. Nice; moist and 😋
@@ChristineCushing I have just landed in my kitchen with more bananas and of course THREE small baking tins. I also bought normal plain flour. I want to bake same cake for my extended family tomorrow evening. Yesterday I used plain gluten free flour coz of my intolerance to gluten. Close to Xmas, I am thinking of twicking the recipe a bit by using treacle and also baptise the cake with RUM. What do you think?🤷🏽♀️ Anyway, you can’t stop me because I already bought the treacle. I will talk to Mr “Amazon” to deliver a DRUM of Rum for me. If you don’t hear from me after Xmas, just remember “THE DRUM OF RUM”🤣😂🤣😂
You are so sweet and so warm just like the cake, I enjoyed watching you make the cake and eating it too, such happiness on your face, God bless your dad
Thank you for sharing you amazing comments. I totally agree and my dad would be so happy that you are enjoying it as much as we do. Be well and see you in the kitchen
Christine, I tried Dad's recipe for Banana Cake and it is the BEST! I have never had a banana cake so moist and so delicious! I have to agree with your husband - it is the BEST BANANA CAKE! It is so easy to make and delicious! Thank you for sharing!
Hi Christine! 1. Go ahead and adjust your recipe list to include the eggs you incorporated! 2. Letting you know that I tried your recipe and it is DIVINE!!!!! GOSSHH the smell of the batter and the kitchen while it bakes is HEAVENLY!!! Hats off to you and your father for this most delightful recipe. 😍 I added a bit of ground ginger to the spice mix and replaced some of the AP flour with Almond meal. Caribbean girl Approved 👍🏽👍🏽
I love the potato masher.. it reminded me of how my 85yr old Mum.use to bake and cook.. just improvise... lol. The whole nutmeg brought up memories of my Mum using it and grating it for a steamed pudding she use to make. I hvnt seen that done since I was a kid.. lol. My Mum was also phenomenal at baking and nvr had recipes either. I've quizzed her on her recipes too. 💓
Ever since I discovered this recipe I only make this. My grand nephew is 5 yrs old & he eats it everyday after school. He loves it. Thu you for this amazing recipe.
I just made it into cupcakes so that it is easier for my kids to bring it to school as snack. Left with 2 ripe bananas but the consistency is like yours. I reduced the sugar and used ground nutmeg powder. No apple butter but added honey. I added chocolate chips to some. When the cake was done, the smell was heavenly. Thank you Christine for sharing your family recipe. Oh, I don't have a potato masher and used a fork instead. By the way, I enjoy watching your foodie TV shows.
Hi Christine, I’m from Pakistan but currently residing in Saudi Arabia. I simply love your dad’s recipe of banana bread. And I couldn’t help laughing about using the potato masher to mix. Just loved it, and I will try it just like this. Keep sharing your delicious recipes please. Amazing
Just took 2 (1 - 8x8 cake pan & 1 - 5x9.5 loaf pan to equal your 3 mini pans) banana breads out of the oven! Not a fan of cinnamon, so cut it to .75 tsp & guessed about amount of nutmeg powder (you say "whatever is in the kitchen" - well, who has nutmeg nuts on hand?) at 1/4 tsp. w a smigden missing. From a suggestion in another Comment, I put in 1/3 cup Dark Choco Chips and also added chopped walnuts to one pan. And, I've never before gone w black skin bananas! (2) until your video gave me courage to try ! & one 70% black one. WOW! moist & springy w a hint of spice. Luv it!
Hi 👋😀 I totally agree with your Dad that the potatoes masher was the right tool to mash bananas for this beautiful banana 🍞 bread recipe and thank you so much for sharing the beautiful recipe and sharing the beautiful video @My Favourite Foods Christine Cushing 👍👍😀😀🍞🍞😋😋🌹🌹❤️❤️
Thank you so much for the beautiful red heart and thank you so much for enjoying my messages and comments @ Christine Cushing My Favourite Recipes👍👍😀😀❤️❤️🌹🌹
Thank you soooo much for sharing your father's recipe. Our 5yr son made this today, and it was absolutely amazing. We used chocolate chips and honey. It was soft inside and crispy on the outside just the way we ❤️ it!
Just made it.... listen I’ve tried many recipes and this is the best. Moist, flavourful, not too sweet. My only adjustment was a tad bit more flour as my batter was too soft. Absolutely delish! 😋
I watched a few banana bread making videos and I found yours the most interesting! I was so invested into the story of how your Dad made this & I'm definitely going to make it myself! What I love best was the simplicity of the method used - I wouldn't have thought to use a potato masher either lol! 🥰
@@mizzpoetrics thank you so much ! I really know you will love it. I felt the story is so important to the entire recipe so I’m glad you felt it. Enjoy
Omg it was the best banana bread ever only thing I changed was the nutmeg I wasn’t going to Malaysia to pick it up so I used ground lol but I was delicious Thankyou for sharing your dad’s guessing recipe 🙏
Hello! I've made this yesterday and everybody liked it :) You were right, I used a big baking tray instead of 3 little ones, and mine got a little burnt outside and (my opinion) too moist on the inside. Will be looking to purchase smaller trays as i find them useful. I also used a tbs of honey and sprinkled nuts and dark chocolate chips in the batter. Thanks for the recipe!
Christine, when you took the banana loaves out of the oven, I could almost smell them! I LOVE banana bread; can't wait to try your Dad's recipe. Yummers, many thanks❣
Christine, you hit the nail on the the head! I've been making banana bread from a traditional recipe.My recipe calls for 4 bananas, and I too use the very dark ones, sometimes only 60% spotted, but all so ripe. I never use a traditional bread pan. That would require about an hour and 10 minutes to fully bake, and in that process to get the heat to reach into the enter to fully bake the batter, the heat is beating on the outer layer, making the bread dry, and crusty. What I did to minimize the dryness was to use a four loaf mini baking pan made by Wilton, the bakeware company. So I divide my batter into the four sections, and ONLY bake for 40 minutes. It is n longer called bread. It's called cake...it is that moist. The outer skin layer is as moist as the inner, just like cake should be. The crumb is very moist, yet airy, and when you cut a slice, if you squeeze it, you could hear the moisture smacking if you hold it close to your ear. It truly is cake. Now here's another twist of the banana cake.I love spice cake that I made from scratch. The spices called for powdered ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, and fresh grated ginger. So I figured the right proportions of these spices, added them to my banana bread mixture, and I made a spice cake. Kinda lost the banana flavor, yet it still provided the tender texture we expect, but oh boy was it delicious, if you like spice cake. Then you could drizzle a small amount of powdered sugar icing to dress it up. Christine, THUMBS UP!!!!!!!
Wow!!! I just saw your beautiful recipe from your wonderful dad!!! Thanks, dad for teaching you and thank you for sharing with us!!! THE POTATO MASHER, WAS THE KICKER,, MADE THINGS SO EASY!!! I LOVED THE FACT, THAT YOU SAID , 1) USE VERY BROWN BANANA 2) just mash the banana up!!! All the spices was the kicker!!! Thanks, for saying,, no applesauce!!! AGAIN. , 😊 🙏 BLESSING TO THE MEMORIES OF YOUR BANANA BREAD MAKING 🍞 FATHER😇👍!!!
Hello Christine - Maggie from Zimbabwe in Africa - thanks so much for sharing your dad’s banana bread loaf recipe. I baked it today and it came out beautifully n the taste is just yummy yummy and I used ground Nutmeg.
I’m going to make this later! Looks sooo good. I don’t understand why the recipes I have seen don’t use baking powder only baking soda. I use both when making banana muffins. I love the way you scrape clean your bowl😋. You don’t waste anything. I always yell at the other cooking foodies I’m watching who leaves so much stuffs in their bowls🤣 Thanks for sharing. God bless & stay safe!
The technique! Yes! I get this! Your dad was an intuitive genius chef! Thank you for sharing! I wiil remember him when I bake this. Ill use the same technique for my pumkin bread as well. I make both every fall. No more Kitchen aid! I bake mini banana and pumpkin breads for about 100 teachers each Fall for Thanksgiving! They recieved one of each! Ill pass this on. Thank you.
Hello, I cant wait to try this recipe. You taught me how to make crapes. They are still a fav of ours. Thanks for sharing Tony's Banana Cake! The coffee is brewing, come on over!
Hi, just want to said thank you for the recipe, I have bake this twice now and I love it. I have added sour cream too. Did wanted to throw away..thank you again..
That is exactly how I make mine! If I don't have sour cream, I had a little plain or vanilla yogurt.I can't believe I found a recipe that is almost exactly like mine!I freeze the bananas in the skin,Then I cut the bottom off and just squeeze it Into the bowl. Easy peasy!
Wow another great recipe! Thank you Christine, for your info I use the potato masher too but only to mash the bananas, I then put them in muffin tins. I have been looking for another banana recipe for a few years now, this is it for me.
I'm a ok cook ,so during this time I thought it would to look up new recipes. I found your channel and knew it would be a good after watching the video for Banana cake. I made and it changed my life! Thank for sharing. I love anything with lemon so I will make the Greek potatoes next
Yum. I happen to have over ripened Bananas in my freezer so can hardly wait to try your Dad's recipe. I just found you today and started saving your videos. One question, why would anyone give this a thumbs down. I love you in Christ. Hugs from smokey California.
You are definitely wonderful! I just made this recipe from you, for the first time this marvelous banana bread came perfect from the oven. No words enough to say thank you! Now I’m going to enjoy it with my family! ❤️😍💕🥰🌷🌷🌷🌷
I did it!! I made your dad’s banana cake with the masher!! It turned out so yummy❣️ My three small loaves turned out incredible! Christine thanks so much!
Thanks Tony! That’s crazy but you know I’m making it this week. How long would three of these last in my house? Let’s see, one for hubby, one for me and one for whoever comes by for tea. Oh wait, no one is coming during the quarantine so let’s recalculate 😆 Boo yah. Another spectacular recipe. Love ya, thanks Christine.
Tried Tony's Easy Banana cake recipe and it turn out very yummy. The thought of using Apple butter sounds interesting mix. I cooked some apple to make it more like apple Jam texture as replacement for Apple Butter. Still turn out good. Thank you so much for this recipe.
I made it today, adding one teaspoon cinnamon powder and walnuts, baked for 35 minutes. It was so tasty and moist. Thank you very much for this recipe, Christine. Cheers from Melbourne, Australia 💝
@@ChristineCushing I have been cooking lots during quarentine, including your recipes. My family and my girlfriend are loving it! I literally just served up a bolognaise sauce and brownies i made today to my family.

MyFavouriteFoods ChristineCushing And Tony’s banana bread turned out spectacular! Thanks again 😊
Tried Tony's Easy Banana cake recipe and it turn out very yummy. The thought of using Apple butter sounds interesting mix. I cooked some apple to make it more like apple Jam texture as replacement for Apple Butter. Still turn out good. Thank you so much for this recipe.
My pleasure
