Banana bread bursting with warm spices and frosted with a tangy cream cheese frosting.
I served this at my brunch sponsored by Eggland’s Best to announce their first ever recipe contest!
Call for entries to the Eggland’s Best “Your Best Recipe” Contest is open now through August 12, 2012.
A $1,000 prize will be awarded in each of the following four categories: Breakfast, Appetizer, Main Course, and Dessert and one at-home chef whose dish best showcases the use of Eggland’s Best eggs will be awarded a $10,000 grand prize.
Along with this delectable banana bread there was also Baked Berry Cream Cheese French Toast, a Greek Frittata and Baked Peanut Butter Apple Oatmeal. It was a veritable feast.
