Jillian's Banana Bread

 

Picture yourself cozied up on the couch on a chilly winter morning. The weatherman is excitedly discussing the possibility of 7 more inches of snow tonight and your dog is softly snoring next to you. The air suddenly fills with the delicious scent of baking banana bread, better than any candle you can buy. That’s the scene we imagined after making this fan submitted recipe.

This Banana bread is straightforward, delicious, and sure to be a family favorite. Add mini chocolate chips or chopped up cranberries to spruce up this bake for guests.

  2. In a seperate bowl cream together butter and brown sugar by hand or using a Jêt Mix immersion blender. Stir in eggs and mashed bananas until well blended.
