This classic banana bread recipe has been a staple in my family for years! Growing up, my mom, Mama Mackey, used to make this all the time. I’m so happy to be continuing the tradition with my family. She also has an amazing chicken salad recipe! I slightly tweaked my mom’s original recipe to include half coconut sugar and half almond flour. Of course, you can make the original recipe or make small tweaks as I did.

Making homemade banana bread is a great activity to do with your kids on a day when you’re not quite sure how to fill your time. I think we’re all having those days lately, am I right? Ha! Let your kids help measure, pour, count, and mix. Cooking and baking together can be a great way to practice math, reading, and following steps.

This classic banana bread also makes an amazing gift, there’s nothing like freshly baked banana bread to warm your neighbor’s heart!

Looking For An Even Quicker Option?

GoNanas is the #1 banana bread mix in the market! They carry vegan, gluten free and top allergen free banana bread mixes, but you would never be able to tell because they taste THAT good! I like to drizzle Eat Nuttzo on top and some coconut for breakfast or a snack!
