Best Banana Bread

This banana bread has a reputation.  A GOOD reputation!  I started making this bread years ago for my “mail lady” at Christmas and now it is one of her favorites!  I made a mistake one year….I gave her homemade granola for Christmas instead of the bread.  She was gracious and wrote me a thank you note, but told me she liked the banana bread much better.

You could also say that this is an heirloom recipe, as many of my relatives have and use this “oldie, but a goodie” recipe too!

Here are the ingredients… (scroll down for the complete and PRINTABLE recipe)

This recipe makes 2 regular loaves or 4 little loaves.  Don’t forget my Mom’s little trick…spray your pans with cooking spray and then lay parchment paper in the bottom to prevent sticking.

Bake at 350 degrees.  If making 2 large loaves, bake for an hour.  If making 4 small loaves, bake for 40ish minutes.

Check for done-ness by inserting a tooth pick in the top of the bread. If it comes out clean, it’s done!  Let bread sit in the pan for 5 minutes or so, then dump out the bread and remove the parchment paper.  Here’s what they look like when they’re cooling.
