During the summer months when the kids are home we go through food incredibly fast. Which means that we are constantly in the kitchen baking up something for the next few days. One of my favorite foods by far has always been banana bread and I always used to think that it was something really hard to make. But a few weeks ago I found a super simple recipe for banana bread on the I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter website and have already made my family a few batches. This recipe is especially great when you have overripe bananas, which we have a lot of during these really warm summer months. So this recipe is the best and easiest way to get those bananas used up, plus you can give your family a treat for them to really enjoy.
The ingredient that makes this recipe shine is one that I always have in my fridge, I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter, which is made with real, simple ingredients like a blend of delicious blend of oils, purified water and a pinch of salt. I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter Original has amazing fresh butter taste in a deliciously simple recipe. This creamy spread contains no artificial flavors, no artificial preservatives and 0 grams trans fat, which means I can top my banana bread with a little bit more of that butter too, because why not? Anyways, let me share this yummy recipe so you can see just how easy it is to make your family a warm loaf of banana bread.

I wish you could smell this straight out of the oven! It smells SO good.
I like to serve it in large slices with a glass of ice-cold milk and sit all of the kids around the table.
