My family's banana consumption is quite erratic -- sometimes, bananas are
hot commodities, and other times, nobody wants them. I often end up with a
freezer full of spotty bananas. I do make banana bread occasionally. Not
as often as my daughter would like, because I like to bake so many different
things. One of these days, I will have to bake a banana chiffon cake to get
rid of a lot of those frozen bananas.
My daughter reminds me that a few years ago she took banana bread to school
for her birthday treat. I sent in two loaves to feed 12 preschoolers plus
two teachers (no nuts for school, of course, though our family loves them).
The containers came back empty, and the teachers were thrilled with that
choice of treat -- no frosting!
I know what you mean about recipes falling off the radar. I'm sure I've got
a few gems that we've forgotten about.
