The ONLY banana bread recipe you’ll ever need!

What’s a girl to do on a cloudy, chilly day off from work? Well, there’s a lot of cuddles that happen, especially when your puppy isn’t feeling good.

And when there are seven over-ripe bananas in your fruit bowl you bake copious amounts of chocolate chip banana bread/muffins!

Whenever I make banana bread I always use my great-grandma’s recipe and no matter how many other banana bread recipes I read I will never make anything other than hers. I swear, she perfected banana bread ages ago and there is no need to change anything! (added bonus – there is a surprisingly small amount of butter for such an old recipe!)

Because I love you guys and want you to experience the genius of my great-grandma I’ll share the recipe with you so you can make it at home. You’re welcome! 😉

In a separate bowl, sift dry ingredients together.

Muffins are always fun to make for co-workers… We’ll see how quickly these go at the office this morning!

Have a great Thursday!
