Hello friends! I’m back from my blogging break. We have a few calm days before flag football starts. That’s life, right? Today I’m sharing a recipe for banana bread that is totally different than any banana bread I’ve ever tried before.
I like to think of it as banana bread on steroids. This bread is loaded with goodies! Chocolate chips, cherries, coconut, . . . and more. My boys have loved snacking on it when they get home from school. I will admit that I probably ate a few too many slices. But it’s so darn good!
If you’re looking for a banana bread recipe that kicks things up a notch, you should really give this a try!
