Grammy’s Banana Bread

Let me start by saying I don’t cook (I have cooked, but it was less than successful so I’m better off not cooking). My Grammy, who just went to Heaven on January 31, 2014, had a great recipe for banana bread! My mother has made this recipe many, many times and it’s my favorite.  I can tell instantly if she uses a different recipe (you should know I can’t tell if I’m eating pork or chicken sometimes, but I always know my Grammy’s banana bread!!

We are going to laminate the recipe because it’s in my Grammy’s own handwriting, and is a treasured memory. And, today, I’m going to share it with you. By-the-way, for all we know this came from a magazine or a Betty Crocker cookbook years ago – but to us it will always be Grammy’s Banana Bread!

I hope you make this for you and your family and enjoy every bite!

  1. It’s so special that you have the recipe in your grandmother’s handwriting. My grandpa always made red velvet cake for my birthday. I have his recipe, although it is typed.

    I’m about to have some coffee. Your grammy’s banana bread would go great with that.

  2. Heather I wish I had a large slice smothered in butter right now, thanks for sharing, saw in the gumbo, I’m new following.

    1. You should definitely make a loaf – it makes a wonderful breakfast in the morning. I put some butter on it, heat it in the microwave for 13 seconds, and pair it with a delicious glass of ice cold milk! If you give the recipe a try – be sure to stop back by and let me know what you think!
