Hello 👋 My friends !
I am so excited to share this banana bread recipe with you ! I’ve tried so many different versions of banana bread recipes through the years and this one by far is the BEST ! We like chocolate chips in this recipe but you can use nuts, dried cranberries or raisins. Either way, it is a very flavorful, cake like bread ! Enjoy 😉
