Olive Oil Banana Bread

Is there anyone out there that didn’t make banana bread during quarantine? Funny enough, I have been testing out recipes for banana bread for years and finally locked one in. I have a recipe for banana muffins on here, but it definitely doesn’t translate into a loaf recipe.

It’s the olive oil, my friends, that’s the answer! Lots of banana bread recipes ask for oil and it puts me in a weird situation because I like how oil makes it moist but it doesn't add any value in terms of flavor. Coconut oil could potentially work, but then I feel like I should be on a tropical vacation with the mix of bananas and coconut. I would use melted butter, which is great for flavor but isn’t as moist as I would like. So, the moral of the story is, I tried some olive oil, and BOOM, heaven!

I wanted to create a classic pumpkin bread recipe, so that is what THIS recipe is. It’s such an easy recipe, anyone can do this AND it is legitimately the best pumpkin bread I have ever had. I don’t mean to pat myself on the back buuuuttttt… oh well, it’s that good!

Chocolate Swirled Pumpkin Bread with Spiced Streusel

Is it pumpkin spice season yet?? No? Oh well! As long as they sell canned pumpkin and pumpkin pie spice in the stores, then it's pumpkin spice season in my books. So, I'm making Chocolate Swirled Pumpkin Bread with Spiced Streusel!

Sour Cream Cornbread

Sour cream has to be one of my favorite ingredients ever! It is creamy and rich, silky and tart, while still being slightly sweet. The acidity allows your baking to turn out tender and light when combined with baking powder or baking soda.
