Mom's Banana Bread

The Christmas after I got engaged to my wonderful hubby...

My incredible mother
made me a recipe book
of recipes we grew up on!

And inside there are sometimes photos 
to go with the memories created by each recipe!

A HUGE gift!
Thanks Mom!!

One of my faves from this book
is my Mom's Banana Bread,
so I thought I'd put the recipe up here!

(Update: I've adapted the recipe
and made up my own Gluten Free, 
Dairy Free, Egg Free muffin version of this bread too)
