Great read! I would love the coffee banana cake recipe please! Also I’m not 100% but I’ve seen people putting bananas in the oven to ripen them quickly!

Thank you! I've heard that too about using the oven but never tried it - I think I assumed it would change the makeup of the banana somehow, but I really should test it and see! Here's the coffee-pecan banana bread recipe: https://alexinaanatole.substack.com/p/banana-bread-for-adults :)

Currently looking over at my banana stand and wondering how long it will take for them to ripen. Will have to add paper bags to my shopping list 🤣

Such a great newsletter. I can’t wait to try Milli’s banana bread as I’m a devotee of Nigella’s (the one with the rum-soaked raisins) and would love to have another great one in my treasured recipe box. Thank you x
