Yummy banana bread recipe and Happy Easter Weekend!

Andrew helped me make banana bread last night and it's always SO yummy! I've only tried this recipe twice but so far I'm really loving it.
(P.S. I'm sure you can add nuts of some kind but as Andrew has a bad peanut allergy, we just don't put in any kind)


  • 2-3 ripe bananas
  • 1/3 cup melted butter
  • 1 cup of sugar 
  • 1 beaten egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour



  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C), and butter a 4x8-inch loaf pan.
  • In a mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth. Stir in the melted butter.
  • Mix in the baking soda and salt. Stir in the sugar, beaten egg, and vanilla extract and then mix in the flour.
  • Pour the batter into your prepared loaf pan. Bake for 1 hour or until toothpick comes out clean.*I also take a stick of butter and coat the top of the loaf right after it comes out of the oven*
  • Remove from oven and cool completely on a rack. Remove the banana bread from the pan. Slice and serve. 



Well, I hope y'all have a wonderful Easter weekend! Our plans are to find an Easter Bunny somewhere, get some stuff done around the house, go to church, and have a big yummy lunch at Granny's place!

Hope you get to spend lots of wonderful time with your loved ones and stay safe!

TTFN! <3
