Best Fermented Banana Bread Recipe
In these crazy corona virus times baking is a great way to pass the time. I had bananas that were way too ripe and I didn’t want them to go to waste, so I made water kefir fermented banana bread with them. I fermented cardamom infused West Fork Water Kefir with bananas for 3 hours or so. It turned out to be the best banana bread I’ve ever had. The key I think is baking the banana bread in a 12” x 7” baking pan. You know the one you usually cook brownies in. Anyway I’m hooked. So I’ll get into it.
Supplies you’ll need:
* mason jar with a lid.
* Carda Beer Water Kefir or kombucha
