I love this recipe because I already had ALL of the ingredients at my house!! I can't drive (yet) so it gets tricky when I don't have everything I need. The fact that I can't quickly go grab missing ingredients means that I have to prepare in advance and make sure what I need is on our shopping list. Then, if everything is timed right and my parent got the right thing, I am all set to start cooking and baking, but unfortunately, that is not always the case. I don't always think ahead enough to ask for certain ingredients - a lot of the time I like to make game-time decisions about what I am making and when I am making it - so it can be hard to depend on other people. That is one of the reasons why this recipe is so amazing, another reason being how delicious (and pretty) it came out!
My older brother, the picky eater (but with an expanding pallet), requested this maple cinnamon banana bread after seeing it at the store, and I finally got around to making it! I had so much fun making the marble on top, I had never done that before, but I think it turned out well! He loved it, which was good news, and had one recommendation - add chocolate chips! This loaf was so yummy, and would have been even better with a little chocolate, what isn't?
