Pan de Plátano

Banana Bread
When time allows, Mexicans prepare and enjoy leisurely breakfasts at home just as we do. Banana bread fits nicely into a modern Mexican breakfast or brunch. Do as the Mexicans do, and serve this bread with a special plate of tropical fruits (Breakfast Fruit Plate or Pineapple Boats).Undiluted, thawed orange juice concentrate, as called for in the recipe, has a more intense orange flavor than diluted or fresh-squeezed. Fresh-squeezed juice may be used, if you like.
