I am Bananas for baby bananas! One thing I haven't made since being in India is Banana Bread! This thought struck me just recently as I was eating a baby banana.
In Canada one the main ingredient in banana bread - Bananas - are pretty bland comparably, and any good baker will tell you that the more over ripe your bananas the better because they will give you a better more richly banana flavored end product.
I do buy banana bread here. It is a pretty standard recess snack for my eldest child. But He always picks out the raisins and the nuts and brings them back home in his lunch pail. *Sigh*
I always had a problem in Canada of not having the time to make banana bread when the bananas were sufficiently ripe, or saving the bananas long enough to get ripe enough!
Baby bananas here have a very sweet strong banana flavor even when they are still yellow, which means I don't have to time my baking on the ripeness of my ingredients.
I think some baking is in order...I will let you know how it goes, and post recipe and pictures soon.
Wish me luck!
