Reddit reviews Magic Spoon Cookbook

"Banana-dana bread" from the Klutz (yes, the children's game/activity book publisher) Magic Spoon Cookbook. I have the book myself, but I think this is the same recipe. Unfortunately, it looks like the book itself is out of print but can still be found secondhand on Amazon and eBay. It's the absolute most random source for a fantastic banana bread recipe, but when I got the book as a child and my mom and I tried the banana bread, 15+ years later it is still the go-to banana bread recipe in my family.

I love this recipe because you can customize it: chocolate chips or not, walnuts/pecans or not, both or nothing - the bread itself is just really good by itself and to spin things off of. It's moist and soft, but also sturdy without being dense and has a great banana-y flavor. The next thing I'm going to try is sprinkling large sugar crystals on top while baking to get a sparkly, crunchy crust (one of my college roommates turned me onto this and I've been eager to try it).

When I was little I loved the Magic Spoon Cookbook. It comes with the magic spoon, which might make your kid enjoy helping you out in the kitchen.
