Fall is the time of year when people are looking for the ultimate comfort food. Particularly warm baked treats as the weather becomes colder. An American all-time favorite, banana bread comes to mind when thinking of cold weather. Banana bread became an American classic beginning in the 1930s and was a main recipe in most American consumer cookbooks. Today, it can be found in many variations from a bread loaf slice, cake, muffin, pudding and, believe it or not, beer.
