MOM'S BANANA BREAD

MOM'S BANANA BREAD

On these cold winter days, I remember how it was waking up to the delicious scent of my mom's banana bread baking in the oven. The aroma would fill the entire house. It was and still is my comfort food (usually from Starbucks) & baking it myself using my mother's recipe reminds me of my favourite family moments, sitting in front of the fire place in January with delicious gooey banana bread & creamy hot chocolate.

I decided to share my family recipe. My mom will be so proud. It came out perfect, exactly as she makes it.

3 overripe bananas

1 egg

11/2 cup flour

1/2 cup walnuts

1/2 cup sugar (half brown, half white)
