A Taste of FALL from the TULAgirls

Over the last year or so I have been perfecting my banana bread recipe. It started out as a way to use overly ripened bananas at home, but has quickly turned into a family staple. Sometimes one banana bread just isn't enough with all the family and friends we see. To the point where my boyfriend Jasper would forbid me to share the bread with others unless he had had his fair share. So on occasion I have had to sneak off and give a slice to my other half (Anoma) and we even joke that banana bread has become a new currency in Magnolia.

Whether its a family staple in your home or a new treat, we offer you our favorite banana bread recipe to try this fall, otherwise how else will you stop wasting bananas? I recommend refrigerating after one day, you can warm it up in the microwave and add butter. Best with a strong cup of hot creamy coffee.
