Banana bread always reminds me of my childhood. Whenever we had ripe bananas around, my Mom always made a couple loaves. I never liked it with any kind of nuts when I was a kid, but now I love making different ways, with different ingredients added in.
I love the almonds and almond extract that's added in this loaf. I like adding almond into any baked goods. It adds such a wonderful flavor. This bread is best with some butter slathered on top for breakfast or snack! Enjoy!
