One of my favorite breads to make is Banana Bread because it is easy and great for a quick breakfast food when I need to run out the door. Only problem is that my family usually eats the bananas before they get to that ripe point that is essential for a good banana bread. I lucked out and my family forgot we had bananas because I bought halos… I had my bananas for banana bread!
This recipe is really easy to make and doesn’t take much time. Just keep an eye on your time with how long you are baking the bread because every oven bakes differently but it will average between 45 minutes to an hour. I love to serve/eat this bread warm with a little butter on it!

I always have bananas I need to use up – I’ll have to save your recipe. The kids like it when I send them to school with banana bread for snack 🙂
This looks easy enough that I could make it. I have never made bread before of any kind.
I have a couple bananas on my counter that will be ready for banana bread tomorrow. Can’t wait to try this!
this looks amazing! Banana bread is one of my all time favorite foods!
My kids love bananas but refuse to eat banana bread. Go figure! May have to try this recipe to see if I can convert them.
Oh I love when my mom makes banana bread but I’ve never tried to – this is making me want to give it a shot 😁
