Banana Bread
Traditional. A classic. You seriously cannot go wrong with this recipe.
My mom showed this recipe to me, and it's probably (actually it is) the best banana bread I've ever tasted.
It tastes great as a Plain Jane, or you can spice it up with some walnuts, chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, or even a combination!
Banana bread is great for a morning breakfast on the go, or just enjoyed on a lazy day with a cup of coffee or tea.
I love it. It will always remind me of my mom, and I will never stray away from this recipe. It's a keeper :)
Enjoy!
