The Best Banana Bread I Ever Ate

My daughter-in-law made this banana bread for us and it was fabulous! It has a hearty flavor and is wonderful with walnuts in it. This is the best banana bread I've ever had and I've eaten a lot of different ones over the years. It's good warm, cold, and even toasted (in a toaster oven) and topped with butter. Yum!!!

Freeze this to use during the holidays or when you have house guests. Just put it out at night for it to be ready by morning. You could make this as muffins to freeze also. Freeze in a single layer before putting them in a plastic bag or container. They are nice for when you want only one for a snack--just pop in the microwave.

I love keeping some loaves of fruit bread in the freezer for the holidays. They come in handy for brunch, dessert, midnight snacks, just about any time. They don't take up much room in the freezer (unless you make them as muffins) for a lot of servings. I learned this from my mother-in-law. She brings out a different fruit & nut bread each day of the holiday! They definitely get eaten!

This makes a great gift for friends and neighbors too. Wrap in plastic wrap and a ribbon. Or wrap it in a pretty dish towel. It will be appreciated!

Here is the link at AllRecipes.  The only change my daughter-in-law makes is to add 2 teaspoons of vanilla.

It's an inexpensive treat that tastes gourmet. Try it; I think you'll like it!  And having it in the freezer feels like money in the bank. Click on the label "quick bread" below this post for other easy fruit breads you can freeze to use as needed.  More money in the bank!
