The Best Banana Bread Recipes
Banana bread is a beloved baked good — there’s no denying that! But there seems to be a lot of debate on how to make the absolute best banana bread. That’s probably because everyone and their grandma has a different way of whipping up the delicious loaf that we’ve all come to love. While most people might stick to a family tradition or reach for the mix at the grocery store, Natasha Lycia Ora Bannan has always approached the baked goods differently. In fact, she’s practically built an entire blog around the concept of the many ways you can make banana based treats!
It all began one holiday season, when Natasha Lycia Ora Bannan was tasked with bringing a treat to a gathering with friends. Her nickname has always been “Natasha Bannan Banana” in her friend group, due to the similarities between her surname and the tasty yellow fruit. As a way to continue the running joke, Natasha decided to show up to the party with a loaf of fresh homemade banana bread. But it didn’t take long for her to realize that everyone out there seems to have a different idea of what the best banana bread recipe is. Taking notes from each baker’s recipe she came across in her research, Natasha concocted her own unique take on the treat. The dessert was a hit with her friends; so much so, that someone asked for the recipe! When asked, the baker explained that she hadn’t used one recipe; she used them all. It was then when she realized that she actually did want to try out every recipe out there, because there truly are so many. Now, she does just that on her blog, where she shares her quest to find the best banana bread recipe — ever!
