Homestyle Banana Bread

Banana bread is a family favorite of ours! We have loved this recipe for years and I am so excited to share it with you guys. It’s definitely not a healthy banana bread. This is a hearty, warm, homestyle banana bread that goes great with soups, salad or just as a snack. My boys love to help bake this one and it’s safe to say it doesn’t last long at our house.
