A very nice sauce. I choose not to use liquid smoke and cayenne. Instead, use a heaping teaspoon of chipotle powder. You still get the smoke and the heat with this simple substitution.

I'm not usually a banana bread fan but I had a few ripe bananas I'd frozen for just such an occasion. I had a slight issue as the bread overflowed my small loaf pans, so I'd advise against filling anywhere approaching 3/4 full. I made three muffins in large muffin tins using leftover batter and they turned out beautifully. Other than my ugly loaves, the recipe was a winner. As an aside, the overflow that baked onto the baking sheet I used tasted amazing. It had gone crisp and I called the bits banana bread cookies. ;)

This is a great recipe and tastes very close to a commercial goetta I've had many times in the Cincinnati area. It is a long process but worth it in the end. When you cook it it should be sliced thin and cooked over a low heat until crisp on the first side, this will help keep it from falling apart. I also don't fry it in oil but use a dry, non-stick pan. I've found that adding oil causes it to fall apart.
