It sounds so simple... the simplest recipes are usually the most delicious :) The loaf looks delectable, I am sure it must taste good also. m.
ReplyDeleteOh...this looks wonderful.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing. And I may sneak a handful of chocolate chips in there too. : )
Have a cozy weekend!
Mmm... yum! I love banana bread, but without the nuts. Nuts don't seem to agree with me so I often leave them out. Thanks for sharing and will certainly have to try sometime.
ReplyDeleteHappy weekend, dear Sarah! Hugs to you!
I love any kind of sweet bread and I don't think I have ever tried this one. I just love the smell of the bread when you pull it out of the oven. Isn't it just so inviting?! Yum-Yum.
ReplyDeleteI hope you have a lovely weekend, Sarah!
Blessings and Grace,

Hello Dear Sarah, I made some banana bread yesterday! It is half gone tonight! It tasted so good with a glass of ice cold milk! I am not sure what I added because I just made it from memory,. I know, I guess that's what happens when you have made it as many times as I have. The walnuts I added were so good.The only thing is, it only makes one loaf, and it is so dense it takes such a long time to bake.
ReplyDeleteBlessings to you! May Spring come quickly... Roxy
Perfect timing as I have 4 rather over-riped bananas that need to be used - I might give this a go:))
ReplyDeletePS I made this today and was thrilled at how well the bread turned out. I used coconut sugar instead of standard sugar and greek yoghurt instead of buttermilk (as I didn't have any) and it was delicious. Even my daughter-in-law loved it and asked for the recipe. So moist. Plan to make it again for sure:))
DeleteThat looks absolutely delicious!
ReplyDeleteI use the same recipe for Banana Bread! And it really is very good!
