    Indulge yourself! One bite of Mimi's Honey Vanilla Banana Bread and you’ll be hooked.  This fragrant banana bread is perfectly balanced with lots of banana flavor, hints of light honey nectar and smooth, rich Madagascar Vanilla. Like I said, 'Indulge yourself!' 

    Honey Vanilla Banana Bread slice with butter and honey

    In this banana bread, we used Madagascar Vanilla.  It is made with twice the amount of vanilla beans, plus it adds an incredibly full flavor to this bread. 

    The local sweet honey is made by bees using nectar from clover. You'll probably have to use whatever kind of honey you have access to where you live.  It's best to use local honey for allergy purposes as well if you can get your hands on it.

    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 ingredients you have on hand.  You can always substitute honey for maple syrup or agave syrup for the sweetness.  Any vanilla extract will be fine as well!

    Mimi's Honey Vanilla Banana Bread

    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'.  But I shun that 'granny' word! 

    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!

      That's fantastic to know Ronnie! I'll have to try it without the eggs now! 🙂

      That's so awesome Crystal! Cinnamon butter and browning the butter definitely sounds amazing! Thank you so much for trying it and your lovely comment! xo

      This was absolutely incredible! I browned my butter and it added such a lovely depth of flavor. I made a cinnamon honey butter to go with it. Divine!

      Hi Faith! I think those are all excellent replacers for eggs. I usually do applesauce, yogurt or bananas when I replace eggs. I know those that use the flax option, has good results as well. There won't be much of difference. Hope you enjoy! 🙂 In this recipe, I think adding more banana may make the bread more dense, so I would use applesauce. Hope you enjoy!

      This is exactly what I am looking for....but what do you recommend for an egg replacer? I've seen a few different options but wonder if they all have the same result in recipes (https://www.sheknows.com/food-and-recipes/articles/955371/baking-without-eggs/).

      Ashley, the Madagascar vanilla extract just has a different vanilla flavor than the norm, but by all means use what you have. You can always add a little more or just stick to the recipe as is. I've had it that way with regular vanilla extract and it's wonderful. Enjoy! Thanks for stopping by! 😉

      I baked this on Saturday and I used five bananas (my partner forgot he got bananas and they were all about to go so I thought, why not) and this bread is absolutely DELICIOUS. I've been looking for a go to banana bread recipe and this is it. Thank you!
