Rightfully so! It&#8217;s made with simple pantry ingredients and a great way to use overripe bananas. If you want to try a new recipe, take a look at these Blue Ribbon banana breads. They are all slightly different recipes and each one is super tasty.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis recipe is written on a pink piece of card stock and sooo faded I can barely read it,\u201d explains <a href=\"https:\/\/www.justapinch.com\/me\/lynstarr\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Lyn Starr<\/a> (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.justapinch.com\/members\/browse\/list?search=Bakersfield%2C+CA\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Bakersfield, CA<\/a>). \u201cThis recipe was handed down by my Grams (Grandma Berry) who was from the Netherlands and Dairy Farmers.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Lyn&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.justapinch.com\/recipes\/bread\/sweet-bread\/grams-best-banana-bread.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Gram&#8217;s Best Banana Bread<\/a> is sweet, moist, and filled with banana flavors. With simple ingredients and instructions, it&#8217;s an old-school recipe. This is a loaf of delicious banana bread with a sweet story.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.justapinch.com\/me\/Zermatter3\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Caroline Mgawe<\/a> shared her <a href=\"https:\/\/www.justapinch.com\/recipes\/dessert\/dessert-cake\/easy-healthy-banana-bread.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Easy Healthy Banana Bread<\/a> recipe that&#8217;s so good you&#8217;d never guess it was made with healthier ingredients.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis easy recipe shows you how good healthy can taste,\u201d thinks Caroline. \u201cYou don&#8217;t need a mixer, I just use a fork to mix. It makes the house smell so nice, people always smile when they come in.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Bananas make the bread sweet so you don&#8217;t notice that there is only a little sugar added. I added macadamia nuts to the bread and liked the crunch and coconut flavor. Dense and filling, enjoy this for breakfast or as an afternoon snack.<\/p>\n<p>Caramelizing the bananas before baking <a href=\"https:\/\/www.justapinch.com\/me\/thyme4dinner\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Joan Penney&#8217;s<\/a> (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.justapinch.com\/members\/browse\/list?search=Platte+City%2C+MO\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Platte City, MO<\/a>) banana bread adds a richness that&#8217;s hard to describe.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI love banana bread and am ALWAYS playing with and revising recipes hoping to finally hit upon the perfect texture, crumb, and wow factor,\u201d shares Joan. \u201cThis recipe will not disappoint.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The smell while Joan&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.justapinch.com\/recipes\/dessert\/dessert-chocolate\/caramelized-banana-bread.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Caramelized Banana Bread<\/a> bakes is intoxicating. It brings this simple bread to a whole new level of yumminess. One bite you know this isn&#8217;t an ordinary recipe. It&#8217;s tender, rich, and delicious. The top forms a sugary crust but the rest of the bread is fall-apart tender and full of banana flavor.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.justapinch.com\/me\/mrscrystal2you\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Crystal W.<\/a> shared her recipe for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.justapinch.com\/recipes\/bread\/sweet-bread\/blueberry-banana-streusel-bread.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Blueberry Banana Streusel Bread<\/a> that I fell in love with. \u201cThis a great twist on regular banana bread,\u201d says Crystal. \u201cVery moist!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I love the addition of blueberries in this bread. They complement the banana flavor. The oat, butter, brown sugar, cinnamony streusel on top is what sets this apart and makes it amazing.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA delicious, different banana bread with a cream cheese center,\u201d is how <a href=\"https:\/\/www.justapinch.com\/me\/Bakerella\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Kim<\/a> (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.justapinch.com\/members\/browse\/list?search=Boston%2C+MA\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Boston, MA<\/a>) describes her <a href=\"https:\/\/www.justapinch.com\/recipes\/bread\/sweet-bread\/aunt-lyndas-cream-cheese-filled-banana-bread.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Aunt Lynda&#8217;s Cream Cheese Filled Banana Bread<\/a> recipe. \u201cWhen sliced, this makes a great presentation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The filling inside is a neat surprise when you first cut into this loaf. I did put some nuts, sugar, and cinnamon on the top of the loaf before baking and highly recommend not skipping that step. It adds a nice little crust to the bread. I tried it while still a little warm and then again when it was entirely cool. Both were tasty, but I must say I liked best a little warm.<\/p>\n<p>Does your family have a banana bread recipe they request? Share a link to it below so we can all try it too.
