Classic Banana Bread

Here I present a recipe for a personal favourite; Classic Banana Bread – its moist and chewy and full of tons of banana deliciousness 🙂

Since Covid changed pretty much everything, I abandoned the grocery store as my favourite outing.

I used to love the grocery store

My kids would come with me; first in the cart then pushing the cart for me.

Then Covid hit

Long lines then bare shelves and silly circles that were “safe”, then masks.

I had the hardest time adapting to masks but really, who didn’t?

I switched to curb-side pickups. They’re easy and convenient but 9/10 there’s a problem.

Enter bananas

The bananas that inspired this recipe were already knocking on heaven’s doors when we got our order.

Slowly I’m making my way back to the stores, especially for our produce but man these prices are working my nerves!

This is how you make my Classic Banana Bread

Preheat your oven to 350 then grease your loaf pan with butter but I just used cooking spray.
