This recipe is my go-to recipe for sure. It’s classic, delicious and everyone loves it.
With eight kids, I am always looking for ways to be organized in the kitchen, save some money and nourish their bodies. Keeping a baking day once a week keeps my kids healthy and happy and me totally organized and on top of things. Yay me! With this classic banana bread you can’t go wrong. I not only make loaves, but I also make muffins and bars with this batter. The best part about muffins is that you can bake up as many as you like and freeze them in a large freezer ziplock bag and pull out for breakfast, lunches or snacks as needed. It’s perfect!!
Add anything to this batter-
mini m&ms, mini chocolate chips, nuts –whatever add-ins you make like!
