Banana Bread With a Hint of Maple Syrup

Hello friends! Today I’m sharing a moist and delicious recipe for banana bread that I whipped up this weekend! It’s full of yummy banana, maple syrup, cinnamon, dried apple slices and pecans (you can leave those out if you don’t like nuts!). I’m always trying to tweak my banana bread recipes since we always have a few ripe bananas laying around! This recipe is so quick and easy to make! Delicious with a cup of coffee or tea for a mid day snack… or as an after school snack for the kids with a cold glass of milk! Mmmm!

Instead of using a single loaf pan I made this recipe in a mini loaf pan to make 8 miniature loaves- more golden brown crust to nibble on! Yum!

Here’s the recipe! Enjoy!
