Gramma’s Chocolate Chip Banana Bread

If you haven’t noticed, Winter is in full swing which means snow covered landscapes, hot chocolate, trips to the ski hills, and hearty baked goods. As much as I love warm muffins and scones from my local bakery, nothing beats my Gramma’s banana bread on a blistery winter day.

And there is nothing like being in the kitchen with my Gramma when she bakes her famous bread. The meticulous measuring of ingredients. The diligent mashing of the bananas. The slow mixing of the batter by hand. And I wouldn’t dare ask her if she needs help… she’s got it all memorized and has a strict method that she follows.

The watching and waiting is always worth it! The kitchen starts to smell of bananas and nutmeg. And without fail, the delicious and welcoming fragrance wafts down the hall and unconsciously gathers everyone in the house. Before you know it the whole family is gathered in the kitchen awaiting a sliver of Gramma’s dense bread.

The oven timer beeps signifying the completion of this rich treat. Gramma opens the oven and carefully bends down to remove the payload. Slicing and serving the bread while it’s still warm is the key to happiness. Warmed ever so slightly with a smear of cinnamon honey butter… it’s comfort for the soul.

As soon as Winter arrives I bring to life the smell of Gramma’s kitchen in my own. And while I admit I am not as diligent as my Gramma when I make this bread, it comes out perfectly baked every time!
