Back to School Banana Bread

I love an excellent sweetened bread with a side of eggs to start our morning. Some banana bread recipes call for an entire cup or more of sugar! I’m sure it is delicious, but I will always try to sweeten it more naturally with honey, maple syrup, or coconut sugar. I’ve been baking banana bread this way for a couple of years now and I think this is a prize-winner recipe. It’s moist, sweet, and great in flavor. Everything you want your banana bread to be.

Something about school time starting makes me feel like I have to make a loaf. I usually make this the night before. I should really do this more often because when I have breakfast prepared the night before it truly makes my mornings go much more smoothly.

As the smell of freshly baked banana bread fills the kitchen, I know that this delightful treat will disappear in no time, courtesy of eager little hands. While it’s bittersweet to see it vanish so quickly, there’s a certain satisfaction in knowing that this recipe brings happiness and coziness to our mornings. Banana bread, with its sweet, comforting presence, is a reminder of the joy found in simple pleasures and shared moments around the table. A perfect start to our school year.
