My toddler cannot keep his little fingers off this banana bread. This easy banana bread recipe of my mom’s is his favorite. It freezes really well as well so I always double the recipe to make two loaves because they don’t last long in our house. Actually, when I take a loaf out of the freezer I have to hide it from my son or he starts crying because he wants to dig into it immediately – he doesn’t care that it’s frozen brick of banana bread. Yes, he loves it that much!
He’s pretty good about sharing his toys but don’t get between him and his banana bread. {wink}

Hi Monika! I’m so glad that you liked it! My little guy (almost 3) doesn’t help a lot in the kitchen yet because we end up with more ingredients on the floor than in the bowl. 🙂 He sure does love eating it though. Thank you for your great feedback!
