Banana Bread – Love this warmed with butter
This banana bread is moist and delicious with loads of banana flavor!
Banana bread is thought to have originated in the United States in the early 1900s. What is this? One theory is that it was created by enterprising housewives who were looking for ways to use up overripe bananas before they went bad.
Another theory suggests that it was created by companies that were looking for ways to promote the sale of their newly developed baking powder.
Whatever its origins, there’s no denying that it is a delicious part of American culinary history.
