I’ve been trying to capture some of my mother’s old recipes since she passed. Since my sister got this handwritten recipe from my mother I haven’t had the opportunity until now to capture this recipe and convert it to a blog post. In a way this will be a memorial to my mother for all the time she disliked cooking but did it anyway to feed her family.
This recipe reminds me of simpler times when you just grabbed a cup of coffee sat at the table and enjoyed the warmth of the freshly baked banana bread with some butter. For those days when comfort is needed, this is a great addition to any breakfast table. Enjoy!
