Author Notes

The triple threat of B. Rich flavors, high moisture, and truly decadent. This was the reigning king of the breakfast rush at the bakery. I lost count of how many loaves we'd run through each morning but the marriage between a slice of this banana bread with an espresso or cup of coffee is sublime. At night, dust with a little sugar, brûlée with a torch, and top with a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream for an incredible, but quick, dessert. —Finchly
