Simply the yummiest banana bread ever!
My dear neighbor in Doha used to stop by for a quick visit and would sometimes find this bread freshly baked and served with her coffee. She would ask me for the recipe right away after the first bite. We shared a lot of laughs and chats over this yummy bread.
