Who doesn’t love a good sweet bread for breakfast or a snack? This is the easiest bread recipe we’ve ever done, and we bet you’ll keep going back to this one after you make it!
Patiently wait in delight, as your home is filled with the glorious smell of fresh baking banana nut bread. Who needs a candle when you have this absolutely delectable aroma of bananas and brown sugar filling the air?
Grab your cup of coffee or your cold glass of milk, and prepare yourself for this ever so slightly sweet, and moist bread.
You can use slightly over ripened bananas for a more prominent sweetness and banana flavor. This is all personal taste bud preference of course.
I used 4 separate mixing bowls. You will also need one 9x5 loaf pan.
