I don’t know about you but I know there are certain things I just grew up having. Enchiladas were one of them ( every Saturday my mom would cook them from scratch) Turkey and ham at Thanksgiving, and usually some type of chicken for dinner. As I started to raise my own family I knew there would carry that same traditions into my own home.
So somewhere along the way, banana bread became on of our things, just like my mom had her things. To me, theres nothing like a warm piece of banana bread to keep you in between lunch and dinner.
It’s also the perfect little breakfast item to have along with a glass of your favorite iced coffee.
Here’s my favorite banana bread recipe adapted from one of my favorite cookbooks! A must if you love collecting cookbooks like I do! You learn the basic recipe and then you adapt it to fit your taste buds and family!
