Banana Bread with Butter

What is it?

Thick-sliced banana bread comes warm from McCafé with a pat of butter on top. It’s a dense, pale loaf baked with banana purée, flour, sugar and raising agents, then lightly toasted so the edges take on a bit of colour while the centre stays soft. The butter melts into the crumb as it sits, which changes the texture quickly. Compared with McDonald’s muffins and cookies, this sits closer to a cafe-style breakfast slice than a grab-and-go snack, and it’s served as a single piece rather than a packaged bakery item.
