I absolutely love banana bread from the smell of it baking in the oven to the taste of a nice warm slice with butter. I love banana bread so much that I would eat it every day if I could. I know life is super busy so baking a fresh loaf of banana bread every day isn't in the books, so in between baking sessions I burn my banana nut bread candle.
