" ... I came across a blog post from Zingerman's Bakehouse that discloses they've been including the whole banana—peel and all!—in their banana bread for years."

no, but in a similar vein it blew my mind when another pastry chef didn't hull his strawberries, just roasted and pureed the whole berry for his ice cream 🤷‍♀️

I love to roast whole bananas in their peel just gives them a great flavor but I've never actually used the peel itself! 

Reminds me somewhat of Heston Blumenthal using  tomato stems in the sauces he prepared.

I've made banana syrup out of the peels, just sugar them and let the sit for a while.  Very intense banana flavor.   It's rare we have bananas in the house.  I like the finger bananas from the Asian market over the Cavendish any day.
