The Best Homemade Banana Bread You Will Ever Eat

The Best Homemade Banana Bread You Will Ever Eat

I am a huge fan of cooking up some new recipes. I love experimenting in the kitchen and discovering what I can create next. Baking? Not so much. I love baking well enough, but I hate the clean up afterwards, having to measure everything out perfectly, having to stick a toothpick in a few times to make sure it’s done. Thankfully my mother emailed me her banana bread recipe a few years ago so there is no need for me to worry about baking something new. I know this recipe, it’s been tested, it’s DELICIOUS. As far as I’m concerned, it is the best banana bread you will ever eat.

I made it last week to have for breakfasts with peanut butter before work. I usually have a banana because I find it hard to eat a meal first thing after waking up.

The verdict? This filled me up but didn’t make me feel sick from eating so early! Also, with peanut butter, it is even better than you could imagine.

I can already tell that I’m going to be making this banana bread for breakfasts more often now. The craving is real! I usually like it heated up with some butter, but I promise you, peanut butter on top of your slice is a game changer!
