I know, everyone and their brother has a recipe for banana bread, but this one is different. I have traveled the world of banana bread... It has been a long and arduous journey. A journey that has not always been tasty, and very often mediocre and frequently disappointing. But then, a few years ago, I found THE recipe. It is perfection. I call it: Only the Best Banana Bread Ever.
Actually what I did was sort of meld two recipes together and also added a bit of my own thing. I made my notes on the recipe and in a moment of brilliance I taped it into my recipe book. That's where the brilliance ended. I promptly forgot it was there and I continued down the road of broken banana bread dreams. For years.
Can we all say Duh, Andrea!
Well, a couple of weeks ago I remembered what I had done with my perfect banana bread recipe! The elation was great! I promptly whipped up a batch of Only the Best Banana Bread Ever and heard the angels singing. Two days and it was gone. Oh, and Daniel was TDY. Yikes! Because I cannot keep a good thing to myself I will share it with you...
Directions:
Preheat oven to 300 degrees
Beat eggs, butter, sugar until light and fluffy.
Add in bananas. Beat until mixed.
Add in vanilla.
Mix flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt. Add into wet ingredients.
Add in milk mixed with vinegar.
Mix until combined.
If you make this into a loaf (actually it will probably make 2), bake in a greased pan for 1 hour 10 minutes. Or until a toothpick poked into the middle comes out clean.
I make mine into muffins and mini loaves. I bake those for about 20 -25 minutes. It makes 1 pan of mini muffins, 1 pan of regular muffins, and 9 mini loaves.
This time, as in last night, I added in chocolate chips.... Those babies take it to a whole new level!
Enjoy!!

Oooh, this totally makes my day!! I've been searching for the perfect banana bread recipe for a few years now, so I'll have to try this one. :D
Thanks for the recipe! I will try it out. Banana Bread goes really fast in my house - if Jordan is home when it's fresh out of the oven, half the loaf is gone before I turn around!
It looks like the brunettes are really pulling ahead in your poll - I think we're all just sick of hearing that blondes have more fun, and ready to be the fun ones for a minute!
This sounds heavenly! You know, if you wanted to share some of your recipes we are starting a new military related recipe blog. No pressure! Just a thought. :)
Ooooo girl, you know me and my muffin recipes!! This is totally gonna get made as soon as I can ripen some bananas!
Yummy! I have made banana bread twice in the last 3 weeks - so good!!! I make mine in the mini-muffin pans too. I just can't wait for a bog loaf to bake!

I just made a new banana bread recipe over the weekend, too. . . great minds think alike. Mine was a little different than usual- a new recipe from Gooseberry Patch (think bananas and blueberries) but it was gone in two days as well. I just cannot throw overripe bananas away. I would've made banana bars with cream cheese frosting, but alas ( : I had no cream cheese on hand! Oh the horror!
I will have to try this one out sometime....and I too, have a best banana bread ever..but mine is banana PEANUT BUTTER bread....soooo yummy. Seriously. It gets devoured in no time flat every time I make it.
But this one sounds like a fabulous recipe and I love the idea of chocolate chips!
Thanks for sharing!! :)
Love,
Erin
You can bet I am gonna be making this sometime this week!
