Banana Bread reminds us of our childhood. Our mom turned all ripe bananas into this yummy and easy-to-make bread. Eventually, we caught on and stopped eating the bananas so she would make her yummy homemade banana bread. This is our mom’s recipe perfected over the years and made into our own. The perfect blend of sweet quick bread and banana flavor, we love this recipe. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do.

Storing/Serving Instructions

Banana Bread will stay fresh for 3-4 days in an airtight container or wrapped in aluminum foil. You don’t need to refrigerate it. You can freeze it for up to 3 months. Our favorite way to eat it is warmed up slightly in the microwave and topped with a pad of butter. Mmmmm ….. Mmmmm …. good.
