Get ready to go bananas over this fabulously fruity bread. Giving it even more appeal is the fact that it's low in fat. So if you've got a hankering for some freshly baked goods, opt for home-baked banana bread that puts storebought brands to shame.

Greek New Year Bread is traditionally cut at midnight on New Year's Eve. After baking, a coin is inserted through a slit in the base. The person who finds the coin will have luck in the New Year. Long ago a gold coin was used, then later a silver coneoin was used. These could be incorporated into the dough before baking. Nowadays, because of the nickel content of coins, it is not reccomended to bake a coin in the cake.
