Aunt Lucy’s Nanner Bread
This recipe was passed down from my great aunt and was one of the first recipes I learned to make. My siblings and I loved to bake growing up and this was a staple. We used to store overly ripe bananas in the freezer so we could whip up a batch whenever the craving would strike. Although sweet, it was a breakfast treat in our house—served warm, topped with cream cheese.
When my sister and I started our own bakery, Aunt Lucy’s Nanner Bread was one of the first recipes we converted to gluten-free. I’m convinced there is no greater smell than fresh banana bread cooking in the oven.
