In 2020, banana bread was Google’s most searched recipe. In fact, it’s ranked at or near the top of our most desperately sought-after recipes for each of the past 20 years, meaning that banana bread isn’t just having a moment, it’s having an entire era.
And why the heck not? Banana bread is delicious, quick to make at home, and involves fruit, so we can feel a little better about eating it for breakfast. For the best, the easiest, the don’t-make-it-harder-than-it-has-to-be banana bread, The Modern Nonna’s recipe should be on repeat. Just mash, whisk, stir, and bake, and in an hour you’ll have a piping-hot loaf of banana goodness to feast upon.
