Carole’s Banana Bread

cooling

Need a treat for the weekend?

I don’t know exactly where this recipe originated but I do know it is the best banana bread I’ve ever tasted. I ate it all the time growing up at my best friend’s house. She and her mom would make multiple loaves at a time and we would immediately devour half a loaf. We would sneak back into the kitchen for another piece repeatedly, until it disappeared!

Before we knew what calories were.

First you need the dry ingredients.

Then you add these guys.

And of course the naners.

Did you know as your bananas  ripen,  if you don’t have time to make this, you can peel, slice and freeze? Just thaw later when you are ready to make your bread. No excuses!

prebake

After it is all mixed up. Pour the batter into a greased/sprayed bundt pan. You can also use two loaf pans.

in the oven

Then bake-for what seems like forever because it smells so good!

Banana cake may be a better name for it because it is sweet.  Straight to the hips sweet.

Good for breakfast, with coffee, for dessert or a snack.

    Tried it and loved it!! I added 1 cup of toasted walnuts and it definitely added that crunch/texture that I always think of when I think of banana bread. I also threw in chocolate chips in one of my loaves, which my chocolate-loving friends adored.
