This is the worlds BEST banana bread ! I got this recipe when I was 19 . I was out in San Diego helping my sister pack up her house to move to Norfolk Navel base. While there her friend said you have to try this banana bread and shared the recipe with us. I have been making it ever since ! It is the best banana bread I have ever had. People beg me for this ! If you make it, give some to family and friends…they will love you forever…..and beg for you to make this for them again !!
