This bread is a little something different than the average Banana Bread with the addition of brown sugar. I actually used dark brown sugar to add just a bit more flavor.
I found this recipe on allrecipes.
I love this site, they have thousands of recipes with bunches of variety of the same type of recipe.
Back to the bread:)
It's a pretty quick to throw together and it smells heavenly while baking!
The cinnamon adds a nice spicy flavor-I always add more than the recipe calls for-and on a whim I decided to pour on a packet of Maple Brown Sugar Oatmeal before baking:)
Next time I think I'll mix the oatmeal with a little butter first then press it into the batter.

I just happened to have the Kirby people over trying to convince me that my 6/7 year old Kirby needed to be updated even though in a side by side test my "ancient" thing did pretty good;)
Anywhoo...I asked the girl {Sheena is her name;)} if she would taste test the bread for me and I would post her review on my blog. She was more than willing since the whole time she was here it was baking away in the oven! She, as it turned out, is a total foodie and food blog junkie like myself!! So as she put away her stuff, we chatted about the different food sites we always check out, I showed her my little blog:) When her supervisor {whom I'm fairly certain barely graduated high school} came back to pick her up he found us chatting it up about foodie stuff and was totally floored that people actually talk/get excited about all things food!
He kept saying "I can't believe we are having this conversation!!"
I offered him a slice of this bread and of course he jumped at the chance;)
I'm kinda thinking he might have liked it a little by his reaction and of course all the praise he kept dishing out for the yumminess of the bread-best banana bread he ever had or so he said;)
Sheena thought it was awesome too-"This is real butter!?!?!!"
And then they left and I felt good about giving those starved looking kids something deliciously homemade!
So this one is "Kirby-people" approved!!
TeeHeehee;)
Enjoy!!
