Banana Bread

February 24, 2015 By A Spoonful of Sugar - 7 Comments

Easy Banana  Bread Recipe by A Spoonful of Sugar

One of the highlights of our recent family vacation, was the cruise around the Bahamas. It is such a pretty part of the world and we enjoyed exploring the ports of Freeport and Nassau. The food on the cruise was amazing, and I particularly enjoyed the banana bread that was part of the breakfast buffet each morning. It was no surprise that the first baking session since arriving home involved baking a loaf of delicious banana bread.

This banana bread is super easy to prepare and includes extra light olive oil which makes for a very moist cake.

Easy Banana  Bread Recipe by A Spoonful of Sugar

Wrapped in a sheet of pretty gingham greaseproof paper and tied with a ribbon, it makes a sweet gift from the kitchen for someone special. We love to give home baked treats – banana bread looks great partnered with a tea towel and bread board, and would be perfect for a house warming gift or part of a breakfast hamper. You will have to make two – so you have one to eat yourself!

    I’M glad you had a nice time in the Bahamas 🙂 the banana bread sounds delicious. Do you know where I would be able to buy the grease proof gingham paper? It really does add a cute touch!

      Thanks Beth! I bought the wax paper from Etsy seller Wonderland Room. They have a nice range. https://www.etsy.com/shop/WonderlandRoom/search?search_query=wax+paper&order=date_desc&view_type=gallery&ref=shop_search

          Hi Carol – I bought mine from Taarget Australia a couple of years ago. I don’t think they stock them any more. I just did a quick search on ebay and there are some there. Search for loaf pan liners or rectangle baking cups. Amazon also have some.
