I find that almost everyone has that one thing that their mom, dad, grandparent.. someone.. made when they were a kid that is still their favorite. They still crave it as an adult. For me, that’s my mom’s banana bread. It is so good & everytime she makes it for me I’m instantly comforted. It’s also probably true for most people that when you make it for yourself it’s never quite the same, but still.. it’s pretty dang good & a little taste of home.
I’ve eaten a lot of banana bread in my day & none have compared to this one. It’s so moist with the perfect balance of banana, cinnamon & butterscotch.. yes, butterscotch! This is probably my favorite thing about this recipe. I’ve had plenty of banana bread with chocolate chips which sure, is great. But man, that butterscotch is incredible!
Happy cooking! xx
