Nana’s Banana Bread
Every week I go grocery shopping, every other week I decide to eat my banana’s so needless to say I have so many frozen banana’s. I will never complain about this, I use them for bread, muffins, smoothies, slice them and pan fry them for an extra sweet treat. The options are endless. I grew up with homemade brownies, cookies anything sweet but my mom’s homemade banana bread was by far the best! The great thing about banana bread is that you can add nuts, chocolate chips, strawberries, blueberries. There are so many options to mix up a simple and delicious recipe. My favorite way is with crushed walnuts.
This recipe will make one regular loaf of bread of 4 mini loaf’s. This Mini Loaf Pan is amazing for making smaller loafs (4) and is easy to clean. The cook time will change from 60 minutes to about 40-45 minutes.
