National Banana Bread Day
National Banana Bread Day, a well-known food holiday, is celebrated annually on February 23rd.
Bakers know that to make sweet and delectable banana bread, they must use completely ripe, mashed bananas. The resulting quick bread is moist and almost cake-like. Although some recipes call for yeast, most don't. Either way, the finished product makes a delectable sliced snack. For an even more satisfying snack, toast it and add butter.
Baking soda and baking powder made banana bread and other quick breads common features in American cookbooks in the 1930s. In its 1933 Balanced Recipes cookbook, Pillsbury's included banana bread recipes. The banana bread's acceptance was boosted by the publication of Chiquita Banana's Recipe Book in 1950.
Bans were first introduced in the United States in 1870, surprisingly. For a long time, Americans thought the tropical fruit was simply that – a fruit, not an ingredient. It would take a few decades before the banana's potential was discovered.
Early banana bread
The Vienna Model Bakery was one of the first recipes to be published. In the April 21, 1893, edition of St. Louis Post-Dispatch, it featured banana bread as something new. The Viena Model Bakery, a new restaurant/bakery chain owned by Gaff, Fleischmann & Company, was known for its baked goods and was certainly one of the first to produce banana bread in the United States. The dish was made with banana flour, made by drying strips of the fruit and then grinding it to a powder. This process had long been used in the West Indies.
A banana shortage emerged in Hawaii during World War I, from very few ships available to exporting the fruit. Alternative uses for bananas were invented to minimize waste and minimize waste. For example, bakeries began including the fruit in their bread.

In addition, rationing of staple food items such as flour was also restricted. Banana flour was a suggested substitute. It was promoted as a health food and was recommended for a vegetarian diet.
This, of course, is not the quick bread we know today. Mrs. Dean's recipe for a banana muffin in the February 18, 1918, issue of The Garden Island newspaper may more closely resemble the quick bread we're used to today.

The difference between a quick bread and a muffin in baking has a lot to do with the type of fat and how it is mixed, giving the bread a different crumb or texture.
Unifruit (a wholesale produce company) published From the Tropics to Your Table in 1927. The book included banana muffins and breads in a book that included bananas as ingredients. This little cookbook would have been useful during the Great Depression, which was just around the corner. Every scrap of food, including overripe bananas, was used by families at the time. They turned overripe bananas and other fruits and vegetables into breads, stews, and other dishes when flavor and texture were not as appealing raw.
