Banana bread, a moist, sweet, cake-like bread, is a quintessential American classic that actually rose to popularity in the 1930s. This was a time of great economic hardship due to the Great Depression, and homemakers didn't want to waste anything, even overripe bananas. At the same time, baking powder and baking soda became widely available, which made it possible to bake bread without yeast. Banana bread became even more popular in the 1960s, when variations were printed on the backs of flour and baking powder packaging. This beloved recipe has been passed down through generations, and it's a testament to creativity and resourcefulness in times of need.
