This banana bread recipe is probably my all time favorite! We first tried out the recipe on our anniversary trip in West Virginia back in November and we loved it. I came across it on the Duggar’s family website — nothing like some good homecooking recipes from a family of 21! Right out of the oven, top this bread off with some Woodbine Pumpkin Butter and you’ve got yourself some real tasty stuff.
