Putting a healthy twist on my childhood banana bread recipe.
My Grandma Mary was the most amazing woman (aside from my own mother of course). She was at all my sporting events growing up and at any race of mine she could get to from triathlons to marathons; always there cheering me (and my two brothers) on with cowbells and posters.
She loved the color red and peanut butter and bananas…actually just peanut butter on anything, or nothing at all, just a jar and a spoon. She was never one I would deem to be “health conscious” and would often order a fudge sundae as her meal at a restaurant.
I believe Grams and I always shared a special bond because we shared the same birthday. And in honor of her birthday (April 2nd) I have been making one of her favorite recipes, which I believe she actually got from her great aunt…
Below, on left is the banana recipe I grew up eating and making.
On the right is what I’ve done to try and make it “healthier.” I’ve been making this all week and letting people try it and nearly everyone that has had it has wanted the recipe!
