Pumpkin Spice Banana Bread Loaf

Growing up one of my favorite memories was using my Great Grandmother’s cane as a microphone while I sang my heart out for anyone that would listen. Ha ha ha fast forward a few years and now I only sing in large groups without microphones. 😂 Grandma B was always such a kind and nurturing soul, it truly was a blessing to know her. This banana bread recipe is one of her’s that my mom has made for me my whole life. Now it is my turn!

Time to transform those icky brown bananas into banana bread magic! ✨

Recipe Notes: The bread pictured is the Pumpkin Spice version. In addition, I added a liberal serving of chia, hemp and flax seeds with a tablespoon of espresso.

Makes for the perfect breakfast bread!
