Banana bread always makes me think of my sweet Mama. She used to make us “banana cake” with a rich, creamy layer of banana frosting on top. This isn’t her recipe, but it’s still delicious! I saw that this Best Banana Bread recipe from Food.com had 568 reviews and 5.75 stars out of 6. 🙂
NOTE: I modified the recipe ever so slightly by 1) decreasing 1 cup sugar to 1/2 cup brown sugar, 2) added chopped pecans, and 3) added nutmeg.
