Right about now, I think I could use one big detox.   Anyone else?
Since I major in moderation, I won’t be going THAT extreme, but a little cutting back on sugar right now sounds super good.
And this banana bread recipe is a perfect way to do just that, while staying perfectly in the holiday/baking/sweet smelling state of mind.

Not only that, but it’s a great way to use up more of these.  If you happen to have piles of them like we do…

I got this recipe from my Mother-in-Law about fifteen years ago, except she can’t remember giving it to me, so maybe I made that up.  But I’ve been making it so much over the years that I am posting the recipe as much for my recipe files as anything.  The notepad I scribbled it on fifteen years ago is about as mucked up as I can stand.   From now on I can just click on my own blog to find this recipe.  So handy, it almost inspires me to put all of these recipes into a cookbook.

The banana-themed chapter would be the longest one.

Here’s the recipe for TWO lovely loaves of this nutritionally packed bread.  You WILL want two.

I almost always make one loaf plain or with nuts, and the other with chocolate chips.  Because I’m a really nice mom.  And I happen to like chocolate.

    I used pure maple syrup instead of honey, and also butter instead of margarine and it turned out great! Great recipe!
