Recipe: Foolproof banana breadMy little brother dated a girl named Meg in high school, and somewhere along the way she became one of my dearest friends. On dreary Pacific Northwest days, we’d let the kids run amok while enjoying steaming mugs of coffee and the most delicious banana bread Meg made. I begged her for the recipe after trying it for the first time, and it’s become my go-to ever since. If you’d like to add chocolate chips and cocoa powder, now’s the time. I usually stir in 1 cup chocolate chips and 2 tablespoons cocoa powder.
