Moms-Famous-Banana-Bread

My mother is famous for 2 recipes:  First, her cream cheese Christmas cookies;  second and perhaps even more importantly – her famous banana bread.  Thankfully I was able to take a trip down to her house so that we could make this amazing recipe together.

So easy to make and so unbelievably tasty – it is a perfect compliment to that morning cup of coffee.  Thanks mom!

Making this recipe definitely brought back some warm memories of childhood.  As it starts to bake the wonderful smell of roasted banana radiates the entire kitchen.  I remember waking up to this smell on more than one Saturday or Sunday morning.

Bannana-Bread-with-Walnuts

Although this can be treated as a dessert, I tend to categorize this as more of a breakfast food.  In my humble opinion, it tastes best when you toast it and then spread a little butter on top.
