I know you have dying bananas so save this round pan banana bread recipe! I’m going to change the way you make banana bread FOREVER.

First, I’m a plain or nut BBer. No chocolate for me. Weird, right? ??Do you like your banana bread with nuts or chocolate chips or PLAIN?

Now…

Why do I care which pan you use?

? Because these babies bake in HALF the time.

? And if you have many kids you know there is less fighting and waste when pieces are uniform and nobody gets the “heel.” These look lovely + make even slices.

? Plus you can freeze one or gift it to a neighbour!
