Most everyone has made banana bread at one time or another. In fact, you may already have your favorite banana bread recipe. Maybe you like it more moist, maybe you like it with walnuts… but chances are you haven’t tried a banana bread recipe from Ghana!
Bananas are an important part of life in Ghana. They are an essential crop for many farmers, contributing significantly to the country’s agricultural economy. They are also rich in essential nutrients such as potassium, vitamins B6 and C, and dietary fiber. In Ghana, where access to nutrient-rich foods can be limited, bananas are a valuable source of nutrition, especially for rural populations.
So without further ado, let us introduce to you a delicious banana bread recipe our Ghana children’s program director shared with us. The use of five bananas makes this recipe extra moist and naturally sweet, with a softer consistency than most recipes. We hope you enjoy it!
