The warm spicy smell of banana bread baking in the oven always draws my kids into our kitchen. I believe hot banana bread right out of the oven is one of the best tastes in the world. It is so comforting and soothing. The warmth, as you take that first bite, just spreads from the top of your head to the tip of your toes. I just can’t help but smile while eating something so delicious!
Here is our favorite recipe for you to try at home. I found the original on allrecipes.com and have included a link to the original. The recipe you see below is the version I bake for my family, after making a few adjustments.
Happy Baking!
