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.

Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Add banana, yogurt, butter and eggs to a large mixing bowl and beat with a mixer on medium speed just until blended. Add sugars and beat on medium just until blended.
- In a separate bowl whisk flour, baking soda, salt, cardamom, cinnamon, ginger and allspice together. Add to banana mixture and beat just until blended.
- Spray a 9 x 5-inch loaf pan with cooking spray.
- Bake at 350° for 60-65 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes in pan on wire rack. Remove from pan and cool completely before frosting.

I love ham & cheese omelets!!
I absolutely love the idea of using chai spices in banana bread — can’t wait to try this one, Reeni! Thanks for hosting the giveaway — my favorite way to eat eggs is fried over easy along with a toasted bagel and a bowl of fruit…such a yummy breakfast! :)
we loved it Reeni, was our mothers day afternoon tea treat :)
