Thanks to my durian-loving friends on Facebook, I’ve been inspired to write my first blog entry on nancykho.com. I’ve blogged before about my durian recipes on everythingdurian.blogspot.com, but I think I may and start writing about everything here.

Banana bread with durian filling

To make this, basically start by making your favorite banana bread recipe. I used this recipe from allrecipes.com (but also added some applesauce.)

Mash a few pieces of durian. I used 4-5 pieces for 2 loaves. Durian has just the right texture and is a wonderful filling.

Instead of pouring all of the batter in the pan, pour about half. Next, add a layer of durian, and then pour the rest of the batter in.

Bake until a toothpick comes out clean.
