This Bread is B-A-N-A-N-A-S


I don’t know about you guys but I loveee a good banana bread and I’ve never made my own from scratch. The closest I’ve come to making my own was buying a box from the store that had one step; add water. I’ve recently decided I need to start making my own because we have a dusty Kitchen Aid mixer and I don’t feel that it gets used as much as we’d like. Plus most people like to go running, exercise or do other things to ‘get out of their head’ but I personally love to bake. Doing the dishes though, thats gonna be a no from me. 

I’ve come up with the best, melt in your mouth banana bread recipe that you are going to LOVE. You will never buy a loaf of banana bread again! This bread is so moist and delicious my mom has requested I bring her a few loaves every time I visit. Honey Bun would love if he had loaves available at all times, too. So, sometimes I make mini loaves and freeze them, then he can defrost as needed. This recipe will yield one loaf but I always just double or triple all of the ingredients depending on the amount of loaves I’ll be making. Believe it or not, sometimes I’ll make five or six loaves, because mom and HB gotta eat, and they ain’t gonna share.
