My dad’s mom, who we called Nanny, is to thank for this banana bread recipe. Every time my family visited her in Tennessee, she would pour so much love and time into cooking and baking for us to enjoy. I always looked forward to this bread the most, which she served every morning for breakfast and always had a loaf on the counter.

For a snack, topping with butter and a sprinkle of salt is my go to, but my brother and I loved making breakfast sandwiches with our sausage and eggs in the morning. The smell of the bread baking brings me right back to her small kitchen in Knoxville.


My Nanny’s love for baking lives on through her recipes and I’m so glad to share one that means so much to me!

The story about Nanny's banana bread recipe is truly heartwarming! The fact that she poured so much love and time into cooking and baking, ensuring there was always a loaf on the counter every morning, is a wonderful family tradition. This bread is not just food; it's a memory! Nanny was a professional chef in creating comfort and joy. Preserving and passing on a cherished family recipe requires absolute meticulousness, just like finding the perfect sequence of moves to clear the hardest level and unlock the 'secret' in the Sprunki Game.
