1970's inspired honey banana nut bread
Sweet sauces
When we travel, we generally bring breakfast with us to eat on the road. (We're those people who get up and hit the road at the crack of dawn.) This banana bread is inspired by the Banana Nut bread in the Tassajara Bread book, circa 1970. The Tassajara Zen Mountain Center in California is the oldest Japanese Buddhist Zen monastery in the United States. The book's author, Edward Espe Brown, writes of baking with heart, and not wasting food-- concepts that are also relevant today. <br /> <br />This is a moist, not super sweet, bread (that can also be made into muffins). Whole wheat flour and honey were staples of 1970’s healthy food movement, and here we are in 2013 (now 2015!) talking about needing a diet consisting of whole foods, fruit and limited sweets. (Fortunately, we’re not also listening to disco, wearing leisure suits or streaking!) <br />
