Solar-Baked Banana Bread

Solar-Baked Banana Bread by Salad Foodie

Too hot to bake nut breads? Get the solar cooker out and keep your cool! Just about anything you bake in the conventional oven has a complimentary solar-cooking method. This is my best banana bread recipe and when it’s cooler this fall I’ll post the same recipe baked conventionally. But here using only El Sol for the cooking energy,…
