History
The first banana bread became a standard feature of American cookbooks by popularizing baking soda and baking powder in the 1930s. It appeared in Pillsbury's 1933 Balanced Recipes cookbook, and then gained more acceptance by releasing Chiquita Banana's recipe book in 1950.
National Bread Day is February 23rd. Bananas appeared in the US in the 1870s and it took them a while to appear as desserts. Modern banana bread recipes began to be published in cookbooks around the 1930s and its popularity was greatly helped by the introduction of baking powder in the market. Some food historians believe that banana bread is a by-product of the Great Depression because the clever housewives do not want to throw away the overcooked bananas (as they are still expensive items to buy), others believe modern banana bread is developed in the company's kitchen to promote flour and baking soda products.
