Easy Homemade Banana Bread Recipe

This is my favorite Easy Homemade Banana Bread Recipe!  It was passed down on my Dad’s side of the family and has been made for generations. I have an old recipe card that my Mom gave me when I was a teenager that is covered in splotches and stains from making this bread for years. We won’t mention how many years it has been since I was a teenager. LOL!

I had to squint to read the recipe on the recipe card I have been using it for so long. I decided writing a blog post was the perfect way to preserve the recipe and know that I would have it for years to come. I can’t believe we first shared this recipe back in June of 2011! I realized this week that I hadn’t updated the photos since 2011 and they were downright scary! I have made 100’s of loafs of Banana Bread since 2011 and for some reason never realized I needed to take new pics of them. This was my perfect excuse for bright spring flowers in the house and making 5 beautiful loafs of bread to share.

 This easy banana bread recipe is truly a family favorite that I hope you fall in love with! It is super easy to make and tastes so good!  I tend to make 2-3 loaves at a time of this bread because it disappears so quickly. At our old house, I would have to make a couple of extras for the neighbors. John would show up at work with banana bread and by the end of the day all his co-workers would stop by the house and see if there was any more left.  I would hide a loaf in the kitchen so we always had a bit for us and then give away all of the rest of the bread.

I am interested to see how long it takes our new neighbors to realize that I spend a large part of the week in the kitchen baking and trying new recipes. lol!
