Ahhh, brunch. The meal where anything goes. Can you have an omelet for dinner? Or a fish sandwich for breakfast? Nope, but you can have it all at brunch. I find that a brunch gathering is the best time to make banana bread. I’ve made this 2 different ways – one with chocolate chips and one without. Not only did the loaf with chocolate chips rise more but it was the superior tasting one. This bread is the perfect portable breakfast – it’s sweetened with only brown sugar (and lightly), contains no butter and uses 100% whole grain flour. I put every kind of spread on top, from cinnamon raisin peanut butter to regular butter. Butter was the best, but the bread was even better by itself. Make this recipe at least a day ahead of time, if possible, because it becomes more moist and delicious with time. And Happy National Peanut Butter Day everyone!
