Best Ever Banana Bread

I know, I know, when you see the words best ever you question "is it really?".   At least I do.  Because how do you define BEST EVER?   Your best ever is going to be different than mine.  Best Ever can best be described as something that is outstanding and this is what this banana bread is.   This was made by my mom.   I thought all banana bread was just like this - not so, and I learned that in elementary school when I was over at Devri Hulbert's house. ( story for another day ) . This is the recipe I now always use.   The other day Reagan was so excited that we had browning bananas so we could make banana bread.   The day was busy and hectic and baking up a treat with  6 year old was not on my agenda but it is just what we did.  We made the Best - Ever Banana Bread.


Best - Ever Banana Bread

2 Cups sugar
1 Cup Butter
6 Ripe Bananas ( i dont always use 6 because we aren't huge banana lovers over here )
4 eggs - beaten
2 1/2 Cups Flour
2 Tsp Baking Soda
1 Tsp Salt
1 1/2 Chocolate Chips ( semisweet and milk mixed)


Preheat oven to 350
Beat butter and sugar together until light and fluffy
Add bananas and eggs and beat until well mixed
Add in all the dry ingredients and don't over mix
Pour into greased loaf pans - should be 2 of them
Bake for 45 mins to 1 hour and test for doneness
* if the top is getting too dark for you but it is not cooked thru yet - make a loose foil layer over the top.
* cool on rack for about 10 minutes before  removing from pans
* bonus because these are so great to freeze
* for some odd reason this tastes better as bread and not as muffins

The very best part about this picture is that these
little bread pans were my moms 🍞🍞
