Denzelmum - Yum, next time will cut down sugar.  A moist loaf.

That sounds lovely, dede.  All printed off and ready to go!  Thanks!

How's your leg?

[dede]

No problem GF,
Leg is very stiff and sore, mainly my calf muscle. Once I stop I'm finding I need to use my crutches to get about. But I'm sure they will get stronger and stronger each day.

I had to cut off the end bit so DH and myself could try some before I could post the recipe. I was pleasantly surprised how nice it tasted. I definitely will be making this again.

Looks great Dede.  Would probably toast nicely.

It's more like cake than bread Chookie, I like it sliced with a bit of butter spread on it. Especially nice when warm.

Yes, no doubt, with gentle persuasion, it will get stronger - but do take it slowly!!  Isn't it an absolute cow, though, having something painful going on with your legs . . .!  Mobility goes downhill fast - very frustrating!  Hang in there!!  Here's hoping you'll be back to full strength very soon.

Your not wrong about that GF, I need my legs, they are pretty important to me

Yes i know it is more like cake,  but recently had toasted banana loaf at a swish cafe and it was very nice.

Oh sounds really interesting, maybe I should try a slice toasted.

Thanks Mandi!! I LOVE all things like this toasted (banana bread included). I generally make them, let the family eat them for a day or so then slice and freeze for indulgent weekend breakfasts

Yes I cut down on the sugar as well. Doesn't take away from the flavor. Might make another one tomorrow.
