Nana's Banana Bread

Recipe #97591 | 1¼ hours | 15 min prep | add private note

In my opinion, this is the absolute best banana bread out there. I got it through a mail order recipe club called "Grandma's Kitchen". It is so easy to make, and it seems like everyone always has some ripening bananas that they're trying to get rid of!

SERVES 8 , 1 Loaf (change servings and units)

I don't like bananas so I made this for my DH. He thought it was excellent--moist and falvorful. I made it in a loaf pan.

    I had found another recipe as well and could not decide which to try out. Since I had enough bananas I decided to make them both. This one won by a long run on moistness and flavor. However, I did not have the heavy cream so I substituted sour cream for that and added 1/2 cup of chocolate chips. Man 'o man how I ran with this pan!! THANK YOU, Juju!

    This was the perfect banana bread! It had the most amazing texture and the just right amount of flavor. It absolutely melts in your mouth! I used 3 small bananas. I made my bread in a loaf pan and it took about 1 hour and 15 minutes to cook, but when it was done it was perfect! Excellent!! Thanks for posting this recipe that I will use time and time again!
