Banana bread is a love language.
If someone waits till their bananas are overripe, takes the time to bake a lovely loaf, and gives it to you, that is a way of saying I love you.
Food has always been my love language, I guess in the broader sense it’s acts of service because I just love cooking for people and putting a smile on their face. But banana bread in general is something that is loved by ALL, like truly, have you ever met someone who doesn’t like banana bread? I don’t think I have and I would be worried if I did.
I also think whatever state of mind you are in, a bite of banana bread can put a smile on your face. So whether you are asking someone to be your valentine, galentine, or just wanting to bring joy to someone’s (or even just yourself) day, I recommend making them some banana bread.
Like I said this banana bread is for everyone, including the friends that can’t have gluten, we’re not leaving anyone out.
PS: I added raspberries&jam for a little pink factor (I feel everything has to be some form of pink the first half of this month) but if you aren’t a raspberry lover you can skip them and just make it original almond vanilla bean which is also very lovely. OR add in chocolate chips and/or chunks if you are a chocolate lover. Walnuts if you like a lil crunch factor. Or keep it plain. Switch up the add-ins. You do you boo.
Now let’s get into it…
