The Only Banana Bread Recipe You Will Need

For me, banana bread has always been one of those things I make when I have too many bananas at home and they are about to get very ripe. Once in blue moon I would crave it, but if I am being honest, it’s never been that exciting for me to make.

I have tried and tested this recipe so many times because I was determined to convince my family to like banana bread. I can now say I have succeeded only with this banana bread recipe. I have tried many different versions and would always end up throwing away leftovers because no one wanted to eat it.

There is one ingredient that takes this recipe to a new level and that is espresso powder. However, you can omit that if you do not want the caffeine and it is still going to taste ridiculously good. I make it both ways. Without the espresso powder for my kids, and with the espresso powder for adults. It is fantastic either way.

I hope you try this recipe, and don’t forget to tag me with your photos on instagram @cookingwithrips. Make it now, thank me later.

Love and Light,

Rips
