There is no doubt that banana bread in all forms is one of my family’s favorite. This classic banana bread recipe has a little extra “zing” in it as it includes some brown sugar. I love serving mini loaves when company is coming over. The small slices look so pretty arranged on a tray.
Another banana bread recipe that I make quite often is chocolate chip banana nut bread. If you haven’t tried chocolate chips in banana bread, be sure to come by and get the easy recipe: Chocolate Chip Banana Nut Bread

Last week I was baking a big loaf of the chocolate chip kind and swiped a little bit of the batter (before the chips went in) to make a classic banana bread mini-loaf for myself. The recipe I used for this post was nearly the same, except I used both white and brown sugar. The mini loaf was baked about 10 minutes less than the bigger version.
Tip: always test for doneness with a toothpick to make sure it comes out clean.
