Grandma’s Banana Bread Recipe

This post is sponsored by Bosch but the content and opinions expressed here are my own.

This recipe for the best banana bread ever is SO special to me and my family as it belongs to my 91-year-old Grandma. I have the fondest memories of eating it as a child, warmed in the microwave with butter melted on top – healthy, I know ;). And I love making it for my family now that I have kids. So I wanted to share it here, not only because it’s absolutely delicious, but because brings back so many memories.

It’s also a really easy recipe; baking is NOT my strong suit and even I can manage this recipe; it requires zero mixers or fancy equipment. I even made this banana bread with my almost-2-year-old right next to me – #teamwork.

I’m partnering with Bosch on this post; they provided us with our kitchen appliances and almost 6 months in, we are still loving them. You’ll see them throughout this post, especially the 800 Series Oven – bakes so evenly and preheats quickly – and the 100 Series Dishwasher – I didn’t even have to rinse before I loaded.
