* I don't know why but banana bread always seems to taste better the next day. That's just my observation and not one that prevents us from eating it the same day at all.
I seem to try a new recipe every time, haven't found the one I love yet I guess. I will have to give this a try :) No matter what recipe I use unless I make more than 2 loaves it never makes it more than a day, the kiddos usually have the first loaf gobbled down before it's even cool, lol
ReplyDeleteyou can never go wrong with banana bread
ReplyDeleteThis looks like a great recipe! My favorite way to eat banana bread is to lay slices on a cookie sheet and lightly toast them (a touch of butter or honey is optional). It gives the slices a slight crunch on the outside, but they're still moist on the inside.
ReplyDelete6 or 7 bananas??? WOW! Now that is some BANANA bread! I adore banana bread. Love love love it.
