A Great Recipe for Banana Bread

I just discovered a new food that I like…Banana Bread and boy is it delicious. I had always turned my nose up to it when someone offered me any in the past; however, my husband asked me to bake some and now I’m in love with it. The recipe below is from my cookbook, “Cooking with Mom”, which is a collection of recipes from friends and family that I created back in 2007. I baked this bread in my convection oven.
