Does anything top Banana Bread? Over the lockdowns we all made some but Pooja took to REDDIT and found this ‘weird but life-changing’ hack for delicious banana bread!

All sorts of tricks emerged, however…

“Adding a splash of orange juice to pumpkin or banana bread,” caught her eye and received over 900 likes!
“The acidity really adds some brightness against the spices,” reddit explained.

This trick might be old hat for some chefs, especially given the popularity of orange zest as an ingredient. But many people were quick to thank the commenter for the advice – and share similar recommendations.

“I do this with carrot cake and zucchini bread too,” someone added. A second person said: “I went to a shop where they added orange to their tomato soup and it was super good.”

Another revealed: “The best sweet potato pie I’ve ever had used OJ as it’s secret ingredient.” Meanwhile, a different baker replied: “Exactly the same with Apple Crumble too, a little orange juice poured over the fruit before topping adds a wonderful acidity.”

Also recommended: “Try adding a little crushed pineapple next time, that was a game changer for me.” “I always add coconut milk. Creamy deliciousness,” advised another user.
