This genius banana bread recipe is moist, tasty, and only requires 15 minutes of prep work. It comes from Kristen’s family as her mom, dad, aunt, and Kristen herself have tweaked it over the years to create a number of easy riffs. These include sprinkling nuts, adding chocolate chips, increasing/decreasing sugar (or added as a topping!) to yield flawless loaves every time.
