YUM: Royal Fork Gives Sioux Falls A Gift…Its Tomato Soup Recipe

Homemade banana bread has been a staple for generations long before us. Handed down by just about every grandmother in every family.

What makes the Mayo Clinic recipe so special? For this particular bread, you will need a slightly different flour. But NO sugar. Nope, you'll be using pure maple syrup instead. And peanut butter.

And if you're like me, sometimes you make your own modifications. Like adding walnuts.

I can't wait to try this.
