I don’t know what it is about banana bread but all I can tell you is that I just love the stuff .? Well last week , I had this huge craving for a slice but didn’t necessarily feel up to taking a drive to the local restaurant where I am always tempted to grab a couple slices of their oh-so delicious banana bread .? Then the thought popped in my head to just make some of my own.? I actually never attempted to make banana? bread before and had no idea that it was so easy to make until my friend Prin shared this easy recipe with. I had some ripe bananas left over so I gave it a try.
I was excited about giving it a whirl and was very pleased with the end result.? I could have sat down and devoured the entire loaf with a single glass of milk (but of course I didn’t really do that).
To make this recipe extra special, serve it with honey and whipped cream.
You can serve it for breakfast, as a tea-time snack or even as dessert.? It could also make a nice gift for family and friends with the upcoming holidays approaching.? But regardless of the occasion,? it is a great anytime treat and all I know is that I could not wait to sink my teeth into this!
Later on, I just might tell you how many slices I really devoured but for now I?ll just leave you guessing.? So there you have it.? My first try at making Banana Bread.? Doesn’t that look good!
