My recipe for banana bread is perfectly moistI and rich. It uses brown sugar and butter for an almost bananas foster caramelly flavor. I have loved Banana Bread since I was a little kid. I remember when I was about 6 to my mom surprise eating an entire loft of it all by myself. This recipe is an adaptation of the one my mom has made for the past 30 years.

This recipe is from my grandma Bohman. We've been making it now for four generations!

This banana bread is perfect for breakfast or an afternoon treat with a cup of coffee or tea. I hope you enjoy it as much as we do!

You can add a few things to make your banana bread a little extra special. Try adding walnut, pecans, sliced almonds, coconut or chocolate chips! They would all be a delicous addition to your banana bread load.
