Banana Bread has got to be the best quick bread out there. I have sampled so many versions of the receipe and compare all of them to mom's. No one beats her receipe and I am so thankful I have it to give me the "smell memory" of the home when she was there making the bread. One thing I like about this receipe is it only takes one bowl - you add everything in this order and mix as you go. I have tried it in a bowl with a spoon and in a mixer and there really is no difference. I have tried to add more bananas thinking that more is better - nope, the breads came out flat and I don't even sift the flour. Enjoy - and thanks Betty Bennett.

That sounds great. I love the spices that are used and no nuts as the kids do not like nuts in banana bread. I need to try and make some soon.
and of course, I sometimes add chocolate chips.
You just know how to make it over the top. I hope your snow is almost gone again. I see you have warmer weather today.
Yum! I'm trying it!! Thanks!
