"You might be surprised to learn that you can whip up a loaf of banana bread quickly in your food processor. This basic recipe is enhanced with the addition of raisins and cashews. It's great toasted for breakfast. However if one or both do not appeal to you, simply omit them. Other nuts or dried fruits may be substituted to suit your personal taste. You will need a processor with a minimum volume of 5 cups (40 ounces)...."
