Flour's Famous Banana Bread

It was Christmas and then it was done. It is crazy that Christmas came and went. We are officially three days away from 2015. 

We had a fun but packed few days in Maine. They left me exhausted.  And now we have piles of presents to put away. A good problem if I do say so myself. To help motivate me a bit I made some banana bread. I am a huge fan of banana bread but this recipe is extra special. 

It is straight from Flour Bakery in Boston. It is one of their most famous baked goods. I get to visit whenever I am in town for MIT.  #perkoftravelingforwork

This banana bread recipe is amazing. I can see why in the cookbook it is called Flour's Famous Banana Bread.  Maybe it is the oil?  I am not sure but this by far the BEST banana bread I have ever made/tasted/eaten.  It is super moist and packed with banana flavor. Sweet but not too sweet. 

This recipe might just have to be my new go to banana bread recipe.  Sorry mom!
