    Thanks Fruity! When banana bread is wrapped up tightly and has a chance to sit for a day or two, it becomes moister and sweeter! It’s a great make ahead recipe for sharing at pot luck luncheons, or giving as a food gift.

    This is delicious. We didn’t have any wheat flour, but it still turned out great with regular white flour. Sweet and moist. My husband loved it, came snoopping around the kitchen for a bite. :)

    Hi Kathy!
    You know, I tend to have all purpose flour on hand more often than whole wheat flour. This recipe works so well with either flours, it’s really up to personal preference.

    Thank you for coming back to let me know. Did you see my Fruity Bread Recipe? You may like that one, too.
