SHANNON’S BANANA BREAD
Recently, bananas were named the top selling fruit in the United States. The banana is widely available around the globe. They are used in all sorts of cooking and baking recipes everywhere, but the raw fruit is a treat within itself. We can use them in breakfast smoothies, cereal, baked goods or just a fast, easy snack on the go.
Bananas also have a high fiber content. This helps us slow digestion and also keep us feeling full longer throughout the day. Since they are loaded with potassium, bananas are the perfect workout snack. Not only potassium, they are a good source of vitamins C, B6 and manganese which is necessary for bone health and also metabolism.
It’s hard to keep bananas around my house because my family loves them so much. Recently, my daughter started working at a local grocery store, so when she came home and told me they had bananas on clearance, I had to run and grab a bunch for this banana bread recipe. My mother made this recipe since she has been baking and my family loves this recipe so much I had to make two loaves or I wouldn’t get any.
