I love to make banana bread, it makes the house smell so great! You can add other flavors to it. Banana bread is also very easy to make, you can prep ahead. You can even gift this to your loved ones that includes the kiddos too, how exciting! All they would need is to add wet ingredients.

A little history on Banana bread:

According to my research and easybananabreadrecipes.com/history-banana-bread it is stating the first banana bread recipe came from America at the end of the 18th century. Historians say, “banana bread came from the great depression around 1930’s. The first banana bread was published in 1933 in “Balanced Cookbook” By Mary Ellis Ames, Director of the Pillsbury Cooking Service. Not many ingredients were used before due to the great depression and there were a lot of families who had very low income.
