I have been writing my food blog for 11 years now, I got a notification the other day that I have had over 100,000 views which is pretty spectacular THANK YOU! And I can’t believe that I have not made my go-to banana bread recipe for you. I have been making this recipe for over 30 years. I think I made it a couple of even a few times a month, for some reason we never used to eat all the bananas that I brought into the house.
Before my granddaughter arrived I was only buying a couple of bananas and there were never any leftovers. Which is probably why I haven’t made this bread in a very long time. I now buy more bananas so she has a few snack options and I am super excited it is in the oven right now and I can’t wait for a warm slice of banana nut bread.
It is a simple recipe but I have never been disappointed, if you make it; I hope you enjoy it. If you have a banana nut bread recipe that you always turn to, share it. Who knows maybe its better than mine.
