Check it out on page 232 of Dorie's book!

This week's selection is from Ashlee of A Year In The Kitchen.

Black & White Banana Loaf Black & White Banana Loaf
On my first attempt, below, I made a full-size loaf and it was undercooked and sunk. On the second attempt, I used mini-loaves and of course, these got overcooked. Can't win!

This wasn't my favorite recipe - but a lot of other bakers loved it. I think I like my banana bread as just banana bread (okay, maybe with a few chocolate chips). Give it a try.

    You are marbling a LOT today, with the pumpkin bars and the banana loaf. You've got marbling down to a science! If you average your two batches, they are cooked just right...

    I love the mini-loaf pans. I think I'm going to have to look for some like that!

    It looks good. But I'm with you on it just being ok. Oh well.

    Your mini loaves look great. I totally agree... this was just okay. I should have added chocolate chips!

    Those pumpkin bars sound and look insanely good. And so does your banana bread. Awesome!

    My minis sunk too, but your pictures are, as always, stunning.

    Marbling a bit, are we?
    You say they are too done, but they look fine to me!

    Oh man, I don't suppose you'll try it a third time to get it just right? Great job anyway!

    The more mini-loaf pans I see, the more I want one. Not that I have anywhere to put one. This wasn't my favorite either, but I had fun with the marbling. =)

    This wasn't one of my favorites, either. Bring on the ice cream!

    It wasn't mine favorite either, but you live and you learn, huh? I definitely need a mini-loaf pan, though, your loaves look adorable!
