Hi! I’m Laura, the author over at Storybook Reality. I’m thrilled to be sharing one of my favorite recipes with you today. I come from a long line of fabulous cooks. It seems like many of my favorite memories with my family involve wonderful food. My great-grandmother was no exception.
Mama Thomas lived in an old farmhouse in a tiny little town in Kentucky. She never learned to drive and fed as many neighborhood dogs and cats as she did people. I loved visiting her house not only because she was so warm and wonderful but really because she had an outhouse. A double one. Yep, that meant two people could use the potty at once.
Mama Thomas was famous for her coconut cream pie, homemade bread and a plethora of other yummy southern dishes. I remember her most for things she baked. She always had homemade m&m cookies waiting for us when we arrived and we never left without a slice of pie or bread filling our bellies.
The recipe I am sharing today has pleased generations of food lovers in my family. I love it because it is easy and tastes amazing! I’ve also included a modification to the recipe that includes zucchini and chocolate chips!
Mama Thomas’s Banana Bread
1&1/2 cups flour
3 ripe bananas
1 cup sugar
1/4 cup melted butter
1 egg
1 tsp salt
1 tsp baking soda
Mash your bananas with a fork. Mix all the ingredients together and bake at 325 for 50 minutes.
Laura’s Chocolate Chip-Banana-Zucchini Bread
3 cups flour
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup melted butter
3 bananas
2 eggs
2 tsp salt
2 tsp baking soda
2 small/medium zucchini grated
1 and 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Mash your bananas with a fork. Mix all the ingredients together and bake at 325 for 50 minutes.
I hope you enjoy this family favorites as much as we do! I’ve passed on the love for this bread to my 2 year old and he can’t get enough! I guess I’ll have to start doubling the recipe!!
