Q: Have you ever made a banana bread and had to toss it away because it was not what you excepted, if so this banana bread recipe is for you.

This recipe I have made for over 30 years and every time I make it I’m so pleased with it. What’s so lovely about this recipe you can make it your own by changing some of the ingredients. The only thing you can’t change is the flour, baking powder and butter other then that you can add more sugar, remove the sugar, remove the spices, add more spices and bananas. You can also double the recipe to make more loafs, can you see where I’m going with this, don’t be afraid to try new flavours to meet your dietary needs.

Having extra bananas in your house is a good thing, making banana breads is so lovely. When my boys were in daycare this was the smell we walked into everyday when we dropped them off at daycare. To me there is nothing like having something baking to make people smile. It is diffently a welcoming smell, when you walk in someones house when they are baking or cooking.

I love making my banana bread with spices and almonds in it that brings out a lot of different flavours, don’t be afraid to add any extra ingredients in your banana bread. Like chocolate chips, raisins, or any type of nuts and spices, you will be so surprised on how lovely it would taste. I will share with you another recipe and video for a lovely dessert you may like to make.
