Best Ever Banana Bread- Taste of Home Tuesday

Thursday, 23 April 2020 1 Comment Edit

I've mentioned before my family's odd banana eating habits. No matter how many I buy, they always seem to leave 2 or 3 behind, and I've surmised it's because they want me to make something with them. Sometimes I do, and sometimes I peel them and stick them into the freezer for use at a later time. Sometimes the bags of frozen bananas start piling up, so I head to the Taste of Home site to find a recipe.

No major changes to this one. I omitted the walnuts due to allergies, if I'd had them on hand I might have added some mini chocolate chips or cinnamon chips. I sprinkled the top with turbinado sugar before baking, we just love the crunch it gives. One loaf was definitely not enough, next time I will definitely double the recipe and freeze one of the loaves. Thank you to Gert K. for sharing her recipe.
