I have been searching for a banana bread recipe that resembled my mom's recipe which I lost and this is the closest I have ever come so far it is so good, I got this from another website.

FANTASTIC RECIPE!!!! I had everything in the pantry except for the nuts, so i didnt use any. But it was still magnificent!! The only thing I will do different next time is add more banana. But other than that..it was great. Another recipe to add to my favourites :)
