Today I'm sharing my Grandma's famous banana bread recipe. This is really the best, easiest, and most fool-proof recipe EVER. I hate baking and even I can't mess it up.
Why am I discussing banana bread today? Well, did you know that the best banana bread is made with black, brown, stinky, mushy, gross bananas that you would otherwise throw out? Talk about a #FrugalTip! Any time that I post about my banana bread on Instagram, people go crazy and want my recipe.
*Note: When you click the links in this post, we may receive a commission at no extra cost to you.
Well, here's the thing…It's my late Grandma's super top secret world famous* family banana bread recipe. So I'll tell you…but then I'll have to kill you**.
*um…so not technically top secret nor world famous, but it's good enough that it should be.
**you know I'd never do that to you, but you also know I'm a glutton for drama so just go with it.
TIPS TO MAKE THE BEST BANANA BREAD RECIPE
Ready for some easy banana bread tips? Prepare to have your socks knocked off:
- If the tops start to brown faster than the center is cooking, lower the bread to the bottom of the oven to keep the tops from getting too brown too fast. Or you can lightly rest a little foil on top of the bread to keep the tops from getting too brown.
- I like to make mini loaves for neighbors and friends. Just set the timer for 30 minutes initially and watch them so they don’t over-cook. You can also make muffins with this delicious banana bread recipe. Set the timer for about 20 minutes and pull them out when a toothpick comes out clean.
- The recipe is easily doubled or tripled, depending on how many mushy bananas you have. You can also use frozen bananas! (Have some nasty bananas but aren’t ready to bake them yet? Just peel them, stick them in a ziplock, and toss them in the freezer for when you’re ready. Then let them thaw before making the banana bread.)
- I like to sprinkle extra sugar on the piping hot bread as soon as it comes out of the oven. Gives a nice, sweet little surprise! This is optional, of course. But always so good!
HOW TO FREEZE
Let the banana bread cool completely! Wrap the bread in foil and put in a ziploc bag. It freezes like a CHAMP. When you're ready to eat it, take it out of the freezer and thaw it on the countertop. It tastes best reheated, slathered in butter (duh).
GRANDMA'S FAMOUS BANANA BREAD RECIPE
Since I love you all so much, I thought I'd share the recipe with you! Now, I've said it before and I'll say it again, I absolutely haaaaaaaaate baking. I. hate. baking. BUT, even I can get this recipe to turn out. So it's basically fool-proof. Plus it's easy and delicious, so you'd be crazy not to try it! Hope you enjoy as much as my thighs do! 😉
Banana Bread Recipe
Ingredients
- ½ cup (1 stick) salted butter
- 2 cups sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 3 cups flour
- 3 bananas, mashed
- 1 cup nuts, chopped (optional)
Instructions
- Cream butter. Add sugar, eggs, milk, and vanilla. Add dry ingredients. Add bananas. Mix well. Add nuts at the end (optional).

Notes
See, isn't that easy? Really, you'd be crazy to toss out another stinky little banana again. I have many fond memories of eating this bread with my Grandma before she passed away. Hers always ALWAYS tasted better than mine ever has, but you can't really bottle Grandma Magic. I've tried.

Grandma’s recipes are the best – thanks for sharing, Jordan! I have one banana-bread from the internet but it hasn’t really “clicked” with me, but yours sounds delicious, I guess the milk makes it moist and yummy. I will definitely try it the next time I have yucky bananas waiting for their final journey.
all the best from Austria,
evi
my favorite banana bread recipe by far! i bought 3 discount bananas specifically to make this recipe. i added cinnamon to the batter and added nuts to the single loaf. it made 1 loaf, 24 mini muffins, and 6 regular size muffins. you were right about it be amazing heated up, slathered in butter! this ones going in my recipe book! thanks for sharing!
I’m so glad you like it!!! Thanks for sharing 🙂 XOXO
I made this a few weeks ago, it was sooooo delicious, probably the BEST banana bread ever.
So glad you like it!!! XOXO
Sounds yummy!! I think I will make it tomorrow! I always freezer bananas, though I leave them in the peel. That way you don’t waste baggies and they do great for about 6 months in the freezer!! Set out to thaw, rip off the top and they slip right out!
Holy cow YUM!! Will always use this recipe forever and ever. Now going to bake this for everyone i know because everyone needs this in their life!
Isn’t it the best?! So glad that you loved it! 🙂
Delicious & easy!!! Will be my go to recipe!
Apologies for the newbie baking question, but do you use all purpose flour or self rising? Thanks!
Good ol’ all purpose flour!
Cara,
I’m so glad you asked that question! Thank you, from an old-lady baker!

Hi! I made this a couple weeks ago and didn’t mind the notation about two loaf pans….put all the batter into one and when it came out, looked fabulous but I went to cut it and of course, complete raw in the middle. Made a puddle on my counter 🙁
However, my 4 year old, 18 month old and my mother all ate up the parts that DID bake, like it was the best thing they’d ever had! We LOVED it! Soooo….I’m making it again right now as I type with the batter split in half.
SO excited!! Thank you very much for sharing this beautiful recipe with us! We plan to make it once a week as we always have a ton of bananas around 😉
Have a wonderful year!!
I’m so glad you loved it!…even with the yucky middle – oops! Thanks for reading and sharing!!
Can I put honey in it instead of sugar? I want it to be healthier.
I’ve never done it! Not sure if it would bake the same way. Maybe try steevia?
This is so long after the post but just wanted to chime in and say now this is THE banana bread recipe we use at my house. We like “plain” banana bread (with no lurking fruit or nuts) and I love how it is so flavorful and also the top crust gets a little bit crispy.. or at least mine does!! Thanks so much for this recipe!
best Banana Bread I’ve EVER had!!!! Thank you for sharing!
Yay! So glad you like it! Grandma would be proud 😉
I have this bread baking right now and my home smells heavenly! I folded some blueberries into one of the loaves. These are going to be for breakfast, my family can’t wait hardly for the morning to come!
Oh my gosh berries? GENIUS! So trying that next time!
How long did u bake it for? ☺️
I just baked these and they stuck in the pan. I even greased them instead of spraying the pans with baking spray.
Weir! I’ve never had that problem. Try flouring the pan too possibly? Or use a new pan if it’s getting old perhaps? Sorry about that!
Spray the pan with Pam AND cut a piece of parchment paper to fit the bottom of the pan.
After baking, cool for about 5 minutes in the pan; then run a knife around the outside edges to loosen and gently turn out the loaf onto a cooling rack. It will be perfect every time!
This is the best banana bread I’ve ever made. This recipe will replace all others. Thank you!
Grandma will be so proud!! Thanks so much for sharing XO
I made this today and my family raved. My son said “there are no words to describe how good this is. I’m just going to use a serious of groans and grunts”. Gotta say, that was a new one. I’d say this recipe is a keeper!
Haha favorite review ever!! Made me LOL. Thanks for commenting! XO
Only one thing I would add…a teaspoon of banana flavoring. Other than that it’s delish!!!!
I made this last night & am now enjoying a slice with my morning coffee.
This is some seriously delicious banana bread. Perfect for breakfast. The house smelled amazing as I tucked the kids in bed last night, so they will be excited to wake up to this.
I read someone else’s review about putting blueberries in! That is a fantastic idea. I’m going to try that next time.
Thank you for the recipe! It is safely tucked away in my recipe box. 😀
Oh my gosh that sounds AMAZING. You better believe I’m going to add it next time for sure! Thanks for sharing 🙂
Your recipe sounds & looks amazing!! Going to make it tomorrow. But I have a question…can I skip the baking soda? Don’t have any & not really wanting to go out for it lol.
Do you know how long I would bake these if I was doing regular size muffins? Also, how much do they rise? Should I fill the muffin tins about half way?
Might be a stupid question, but what does the “C” stand for in “1C sugar”. Is that “cup”?
Yes it is!
I was wondering if I could cut the sugar in half? Or maybe remove 1/4 so it would be 1 cup and 2/3. I just want less sugar in it so it won’t be overly sweet, but at the same time I don’t want it to ruin the texture of the bread.
I made this today with wholemeal flour (same measure). Absolutely delish! Thanks~
Do you know if I can use Spinda in the place of sugar?
I’ve never done it. I’m sure it wouldn’t bake or taste the same, but you could try it and see how it turns out! No harm in experimenting 🙂
Just made this, I did 1c brown sugar & 1 c white. So good, I put the sugar on top. Nice touch.
LOVE!! This is the only Banana Bread recipe I use. It is a huge hit at my house. Thanks for sharing?
So glad you like it!! Grandma would be proud 😉
OH MY GOSH I am in LOVE with this recipe! Your grandma has made my day??
Do you think i could add 1 1/2 cup zucchini to this?
I don’t see why not…give it a try!
I just made this banana bread today and I can’t stop eating it. I used a different recipe before but this is by far the best recipe. Thank you for sharing it. I did one loaf nut free so my daughter can take it to school but the other loaf is loaded with nuts and chocolate chips. Both came out perfect.
So glad you liked it!
I made this recipe tonight. I added blueberries but they sank to the bottom of the pan. However, it was very yummy. Will leave the blueberries out next time. I think this banana bread recipe is GREAT tasting on its own. Saved as one of my favorites and added to my tried and true book. Thanks for sharing!
If you toss the blueberries with a tablespoon or two of flour BEFORE folding them into the batter of any bread, muffin, etc. they shouldn’t sink. The flour helps them grab hold of the batter & stay in place. 🙂
If you toss the blueberries in flour prior to adding them, this should keep them from sinking to the bottom 🙂
I found this recipe a couple of weeks ago, and since then have made 12 full sized loaves and 16 mini loaves. It’s a fantastic recipe, thank you so much for sharing! My work peeps thank you as well.
This looks great! So glad I found it!
how many mini loaves does the recipe make?? can’t wait!!
I’ve got this in the oven now but after searching around the internet I’m afraid I have my bread in the wrong size loaf pans.. Wish the recipe was more specific. Also didn’t know if you used salted or unsalted butter but I assumed salted because there was no mention of salt in the recipe. Hope these turn out well!
1 cup is 250 ml? How many grams is 1 stick butter?
I currently have a few ugly bananas that are just hanging out on our counter, ready to be transformed into something awesome — and I do believe this will be a winner! Just a couple questions (I, too, am not so great at baking. Or cooking (I am, however, a CHAMP at burning things and sometimes even starting small kitchen fires). Or anything remotely close to being an adult for that matter. But the bananas need some love I do suppose). Anywho, questions: Did you use salted or unsalted butter, and should it be at room temp or cold?
So excited to try this! I’ve got the fire department on standby. xo
Haha I’m a fellow Champ as well! I use salted butter, and room temperature is what you want. However, if it’s cold, just stick it in the micro for 10-15 seconds to soften it a bit and that works great too. Good luck!
Same as my Grandma’s recipe for banana bread except we use Buttermilk instead of regular milk for a very moist bread. Super good recipe. Thanks for sharing!!
Awesome!! The best banana bread I’ve ever made. This will definately go in my recipe book. Thank you.
Glad you liked it!
Delicious! Came out perfectly.
I just came across this recipe the other day and made it yesterday. This is by far the best Banana bread I’ve ever had. My husband isn’t usually a fan of banana bread but he ate half of loaf. He couldn’t believe how delicious it was. The extra sugar sprinkled on top really makes it extra special. This will be making it into our family recipe book! Thank you for sharing!!
OMG!!! Best banana bread recipe ever!!!! Made and it came out sooooo sooooo good. This is now my go to recipe for banana bread
* I sifted my flour just to give it that extra fluff. It was perfect.
I’ve been perplexed since I saw this recipe last week. It looks like a pound cake, not the dark, speckly banana bread that I know. What makes it so light in color? Most banana bread is brown with little black flecks.
yes! I made this and mine turned out looking exactly like….well…..banana bread!
Delicious! I did not have vanilla, so I used some honey to add another flavor. Baking in a convection oven made the outer crust perfectly crunchy with a nice dense texture underneath. Butter or more honey on top is good, but not even necessary! Definitely a make again…
Did you use a hand mixer or mix it by hand?
Mine did not look like yours! It wasn’t white and the middle sunk a smidgen- which I should have known and accommodated for our high elevation by adding a little more flour 🙁 Next time! It was super delicious though! Best I’ve ever tasted. But it looked exactly like most banana bread looks- darker in color with banana specks. How is yours so white?? Maybe it’s the raw sugar I used….? Because there’s molasses in raw sugar so perhaps that’s it. Either way, it is going in the recipe vault!
oh and I added salt and cinnamon…..PERFECT!
Yummy although I tweeted it. Pecans and 1 tablespoon of vanilla. My family tore it up. Had to make multiple loaves and they are begging for more.
Tried this bread tonight. Turned out really good. It was easy and tastes good. Thanks for recipe.?
Loved this recipe. I usually make banana bread and have it where it’s gooey in center or over cooked on top in order to get center done but than dries out. This cooked very well and tastes really good. Thank you for this recipe.?
Best banana bread EVER!!!!! Thank you so much!
Found your recipe on Pinterest and baked it today. I had to substitute brown sugar for one cup of the white sugar, but the bread was still absolutely delicious. It is my new go-to recipe for banana bread. Thanks!
I’d like to try this recipe, but I don’t know what exactly “1C” means. Could anyone please help?
Best wishes Mareike
It means “1 Cup”
Thank you 🙂
I love this banana bread recipe! Two of my daugters are lactose intolerant, so I used soy milk and vegetable butter. It tastes heavenly <3
I love this receipt, but my loafs anyways calapse in the middle, what am I doing wrong? Is there something I should differently for high elevation?
The bread was very tasty and I agree – that little bit of sugar sprinkled on top was a nice touch. I’m not at a high elevation (flat Illinois) but my loaves also collapsed a little in the middle when I baked this today and they also stuck – even though I used a non-stick spray, buttered the pan, let it cool for five minutes and ran a knife along the edges before trying to take the bread out 🙁 It may be time for new bread pans. What type of pan do you use FunCheapOrFree? I’d like to get that nice domed top like in your picture -and wonder if the type of pan used also has to do with the color difference in the finished product. Thanks for sharing your Grandma’s recipe!
I really want to get this recipe right.. had a problem first when it curdled on me.. never happened before ever. Tasted good but looked nothing like your pic and had lil flour specs inside.. what temp should butter be? Also do you mix dry ingredients first then add ?? Sorry maybe easy questions but the details and instructions are very vague. Please answer.. I want that bread in that pic!! Lol
Mmmm I’ve been craving banana bread lately…I want to try this!
I’m no baker but you said this is was super easy and fool proof, YOU ARE RIGHT!!! I printed the recipe not even a month ago and make it when every we don’t get to all the bananas. So that’s a lot, 4x which means I eat a loaf by myself in 3 days then freeze the other one. Bread is my weakness and this is my new favorite! Thank you!
I have used this recipe several times now and it is my families favorite! We love it and I don’t think I’ll ever use a different banana bread recipe again. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks be to grandma for passing down her recipe! It’s delicious and so versatile! I add pumpkin spice sometimes, or coconut on top, and I make this in my bundt cake pan, b/c I don’t have a loaf pan! (too lazy to buy one) But, it turns out perfect and easy to cut and freeze. This banana bread is soooo good!
Thanks for passing it along to us!
This recipe was so stinking good!! Seriously delicious. I’ve made it multiple times and everyone always loves it!!
That mini lesson loaf pan is adorable! I want one! Where did you get it
Hi! I have made this recipe before and it is so delicious! I have to make it for a bake sale for my daughter school and i just realized I do not have any butter but plenty of margarine, can i replace or would that be a bad idea?!?!?!
TIA
I know this is a bit long after the question, but I’ve made it twice with bricks of margarine and it’s been great!
I am making this right now! Your bread looks Champion style! I like recipes & love challenges! Grandma…You Are On!!! 🙂
Tried it! It is AMAZING! I only have 2 Thumbs……5 Stars & 5 people in my family saying they really LOVE Grandma’s Bread~so that’s 10 Thumbs up! 🙂
Delicious. Use it a lot. However, recipe is not a pretty white nor doesn’t it rise a high as you show in your photos!
Love the bread, but how do u get your so light in color, mine came out dark
I have just put the breads in the oven. I tasted the batter and it seems less “banana-y” than other breads I have made. I am hoping for the best though!
I’ve made this several times. My fav and a super easy recipe! I always add chocolate chips and no nuts for my family.
My bread kinda sunk in the middle. It was cooked all the way through and I didn’t open the oven while baking. The only thing I altered in the recipe was I added a pinch of salt. Any ideas why it sunk?
How is yours so white ?
I made this banana bread this morning and it turned out great soft and really delicious definitely making again thanks for sharing this recipe
This banana bread is really good. First time making, I made as is. Second time I tried one half cup less sugar and it was still delicious.
We loved this bread! Made some for my mom too and she said it was the best thing she’d ever tasted:) thank you
The best banana bread recipe that I have ever come across, thank you Grandma. I have Made this recipe for a few years now and this is by far the best. Thank you for sharing.
This is the best banana bread recipe I’ve made. The only problem I ran into was, after creaming the butter and than adding eggs & milk the butter became lumpy. To solve that problem, I filled hot water into my sink and submerged the bowl in 4 inches of water. Works every time. Next time I’ll let the milk & egg to come to room temperature.
Great fixes! Glad you like it 🙂
Best banana bread recipe ever, definitely my go to when I have bananas to use up. I love the sprinkled sugar on top after baking as well, so yummy. Thank you for sharing!
Yassss! So yummy right?! Send me some. 😉 JK So glad you liked it. 🙂 Xo
We don’t do nuts in our house but love adding chocolate chips!!!
I have to try this recipe!
Can’t wait to try this!
Yum! Can’t wait to try.
I love banana recipes that actually use lots of bananas. Can’t wait to try this one!
Looks delicious. Thanks for sharing
I LOVE banana bread! You give the best recipes and advice! I found you through Instagram and I’m so happy I did!
I tried your recipe the other day and it was soo good! My daughter and I devoured it in two days haha
Thank you for sharing!
Made this banana bread recipe the other day and it was soooo good!
This was amazing! Thanks!
Can this be made into muffins or mini muffins??
Sure, you will just need to adjust the cooking time. I would start at 12-15 minutes and start checking from there.
Hi wanting to make this banana loaf recipe when you say 2 cups of sugar what is that in grams please thank you Sarah.
Hi Sarah! According to Google, 2 cups of sugar is 430 grams. Enjoy!
This was an amazing recipe. I put the bananas in my Ninja to mash – perfect. We had to try as they bread cooled about 10 minutes with butter – so so GOOD !!!!! My favorite recipe !!!
I know, it really is the BEST!!! I’m so glad that y’all liked it! 🙂
This is the first time I have ever tried making banana bread….. It turned out SOOO good! Thanks for sharing this recipe! I love your channel and your page!
Isn’t in the best! I’m so glad that you liked it, especially for your first time to make it 🙂 XOXO
I have been making this banana bread recipe for about 3 years now and let me tell you- it’s THE BEST banana bread recipe ever. Over the years, I have made little substitutions here and there, and it STILL comes out delicious every time. Yesterday, I made the most adjustment to this recipe EVER and I just can’t believe how versatile it is. (My mom always taught me that a recipe is just a guideline…) ANYWAY I wanted to share what I did in case any of you are wondering… ‘Can I swap this for this?’ because you totally can.
1/2 c Coconut Oil instead of 1/2 c Butter
1 c Stevia + 1/2 c dark brown sugar + 1/3 c honey instead of 2 c. white sugar
1 egg instead of 2 because of the bananas (see below)
1 c water (we don’t have milk since my husband and I can never get through a carton before it’s bad. I have made this recipe with almond milk before and that’s great too!)
1 T vanilla
1 t baking soda
1 t baking powder
2 c flour + 1 c old fashioned oats (thickened it up a bit because of the water!)
4 bananas, mashed instead of 3 since I had 4 to use up and I reduced the eggs by 1 to compensate
1 c chocolate chips instead of chopped nuts
Baked in a 9 X13 for 40 minutes and it was perfect! Then I cut the 9 X 13 down the middle (lengthwise) and into 1″ slice on either side. (I’ve done this every time over the years because loaf pans and I don’t always get along)
**Hopefully this is not disrespectful to your grandmother’s recipe! I have tried it as written as well and it’s so yummy! Just wanted to share how crazy I got in the kitchen yesterday. 🙂
Thanks for sharing, it still sounds crazy delicious! You are definitely NOT being disrespectful to the recipe at all, don’t worry about it! As you said, recipes are really only a guideline, especially for when you’re shelf cooking and you run out of something. Better to know what to substitute with than to run to the store or just not make it 🙂
I made this today and I doubled everything except the sugar, actually I didn’t use any sugar. I used 2 cups of honey in the doubled recipe and it turned out amazing. It made two delicious loaves and several muffins. Thank you for sharing your grandma’s recipe!
Oh yum, we’ll have to try it that way some time!
All family anf friends love it here
I really enjoy trying recipes from you.
Thanks so much for your energy and happiness which help me to keep my kids happy in these hard time we cross
So glad you are loving the recipes!
I have had your recipe saved forever and I’m finally going to make it! The bananas I have are huge and I’m afraid three would be too much. Can you suggest a cup measurement?
It won’t be too much, it’ll still taste great! We’ve used all different sizes to make this and it turns out wonderfully every time. 🙂
Now this is what I call fool proof. Made the recipe. Realized I am out of sugar, so I used about a cup regular and a cup brown. Then realized I am out of milk 🤦🏻♀️, so I used Almond milk. Then saw that my 3 really ripe bananas have some mold… So I cut about half of 2 to discard the mold part. Also, the baby was getting really cranky and only had time to butter one pan, decided to just dump it all in.And how did it turend out??? Freaking delucious that’s how. Thanx a bilion!
My bread came out wonderful! I had to use vanilla yogurt instead of milk, awesome! Mine did come out really light colored even though my bananas were almost black. I don’t know if this helped, but I didn’t peel and mash the bananas until they went into the mixer.
This is “The” recipe to save!
Jordan,
We love this recipe… I have now made it recipe 3 times, including tonight during our quarantine time. 100% fool-proof. My husband last we made banana bread french toast that I can’t wait to have this week.
Amazing! I literally just took the banana bread out the oven and smells devine. Had a piece at 1:40 a.m. 😊 could not resist! Thank you for sharing the recipe.
This recipe is a family favorite!!! Love it! The kids won’t eat three of the bananas on purpose because they want the banana bread! YUM!
Love that!
This is the best banana bread recipe! I brought it to work and now everyone begs me to make it all the time. I’ve done it with wheat flour and gluten free and both turned out amazing! I add sparkling sugar and brown sugar as soon as it comes out of the oven and it gives it a sweet crumble crunch. Thank you for sharing this wonderful recipe!
Hi! Do you use regular size loaf pans or the larger metal pans you use to make sandwich bread in?
Thank you! Looking forward to trying this ASAP.
You use the regular size loaf pans for this recipe. Enjoy it! We absolutely love it!
This recipe is incredible. But for me it is lacking salt… it is really good but doesn’t have the depth of flavor adding 1 tsp adds. With the salt it really is the best.
Did you use salted butter? We find that’s enough for us! But if you’re using unsalted butter, then it definitely needs a teaspoon of salt. We’ve adjusted the recipe to call for salted butter to keep from any future confusion. So glad you loved the recipe!
this recipe is the TRUTH! the batter was yummy, and after 1 hour and 10 minutes, it was still very moist…next time i will cut back the sugar. i wasn’t sure it was going to turn out because i put the bananas in the batter still frozen. it came out dark, but i used extremely black bananas, half monkfruit sugar and half light brown sugar. i made one of the loafs plain, and the other loaf half raisin/cinnamon and half with just walnuts. it is the best recipe i have tried after years of searching.
Those sound like yummy additions! So glad you loved the recipe.
This has become my go to recipe. I experimented one day with 8 different banana bread recipes because I was given a box of bananas (did not make a dent in all those bananas) But this recipe was the winner. Crowd pleaser and for myself whom generally hates all things banana I actually somewhat enjoy this one. It is moist but not gooey, fluffy and not over powering. We all liked this so much that I have actually written it down in my recipe book. The only things that get written down in this book are our most favorite recipes.
So glad you loved it! It really is the BEST.
This recipe was great! I decided to add some cocoa powder and chocolate chips – my kids loved them! I did a loaf and then a tray of muffins! I love that this recipe utilized ingredients I already had in my pantry – one of the many reasons I follow Jordan on Instagram! Thanks for sharing such an easy recipe.
This is very good but I would cut the sugar in half . I find it way too sweet for me .
The grandma recipes are the best! I am 68 yo and baked a lot of pies, breads, cakes, etc and this banana bread recipe has been my one and only for 6+ years. My grown children will fight like teens over the last piece until I bring out my hidden stash of banana bread, I love it!
I do not think I have ever written a comment in all the years I have been on Pinterest but getting ready to double the recipe and bake banana bread! Keep the recipes coming!
Thanks for sharing that, and we definitely will!
