Mimi’s Honey Vanilla Banana Bread

Indulge yourself! One bite of Mimi’s Honey Vanilla Banana Bread and you’ll be hooked.

This banana bread is perfectly balanced with lots of banana flavor, hints of light honey nectar from our local Byler’s Bee Farm and smooth, rich Madagascar Vanilla. Like I said, ‘Indulge yourself!‘

Madagascar Vanilla is made with twice the amount of vanilla beans and it adds an incredibly full flavor to this bread.  The sweet honey is made by bees using nectar from clover. Best honey I’ve ever had, hands down!  You’ll probably have to use whatever kind of honey you have access too.  The local honey is sold out pretty much in advance here, so sorry about that!

Every bite is moist,rich and tasty. Now, if you don’t have these ‘special’ ingredients, don’t worry!  It will still be excellent with what you have on hand. If you’re wondering who ‘Mimi’ is?  It’s me. It’s my ‘grandma’ name, since I don’t want to be called ‘grandma’. My hubby thinks I should be called ‘granny’, because he wants to be called ‘Grandpappy’.

LOL…anyways, this bread is perfect for breakfast, snacking, or add a finishing touch to the end of an evening meal. Here’s the recipe for Mimi’s Honey Vanilla Banana Bread!  Enjoy!
