Banana Bread. Okay. SO if you know me or have been reading along, you know I love to bake! Seriously, I would do it all day long if I could!
Since Little OX #3 came, I haven’t had much time to do anything, but I am so thankful I have been able to get back into baking! Plus, a friend had too many bananas and gave some to me, so why not start my journey back into baking with banana bread! 🙂
The thing I love about banana bread is that there are so many different ways to cook it! And it even tastes great when you make healthy versions! YUM! HOWEVER, this is not one of those healthy ones. HAHA
Read along if you want to try out this crunchy, fluffy, banana deliciousness!
