Classic Banana Bread

August 14, 2014 by bblondie 4 Comments

Classic Banana Bread | ButtercreamBlondie.com

I know I’m usually all about the makeovers, adding my own personal spins and of course, zhushing desserts up, but today it’s all about a classic.  In my opinion, there is nothing better than a fresh baked loaf of banana bread and this one takes the cake, pun totally intended 🙂

A really great banana bread is one recipe you should always have on hand and I thought with summer winding down soon (sorry for bringing that up), it would be a great time to share this with you.  Truth is, it’s great at any time, but I find I start making it even more when temps start to get slightly cooler in the mornings.

Now, this is a super easy recipe that doesn’t even require a mixer.  My only suggestion is that you use bananas that are basically on their way out.  You know all those bananas sitting on the counter that have turned really brown – don’t chuck them!  The darker they get , the better.  That’s what makes banana bread so heavenly.

It bakes up beautifully and I’m all about that golden crust it gets on the top, locking in all that flavor! All that’s left to do now is pour yourself a big cup of coffee and dig in.  This is a must for brunch and I hope you give it a try over the weekend. Happy baking!
