Homemade banana bread is a comfort food that tickles your taste buds and warms your soul like a wollen blanket bite after delicious bite.
When I was growing up, my mother made banana pudding, banana cream pie and banana bread. It was like being in banana heaven. Sometimes my mother served her homemade banana bread as a dessert. Other times she served it for breakfast. It didn’t matter to me when my mom served her homemade banana bread. It was delicious each and every time.
While I enjoy banana bread and banana pudding, banana bread was my favorite and it still is to this day. There is something about whipping up the ingredients to make banana bread, putting the mixture in the oven and then waiting for that amazingly sweet aroma to float through the house and cling to the air.
And oh the anticipation. I couldn’t wait to grab a tall, cold, glass of milk or a couple scoops of vanilla ice cream to enjoy with my banana bread fresh out of the oven.
Another thing amazing about banana bread is it tastes like it takes two dozen or more ingredients to make, but it doesn’t. You only need a few ingredients and a pan to make a mouth-watering loaf of banana bread. See how to make our delicious homemade banana bread.
