Banana Bread is one of those things that is just warm and comforting – the smell of it is heavenly. It just makes people feel loved and at the holidays – that’s what you want to do for people! My friend told me about a family whose son is having some medical treatments done and wanted to take them some snacks and cards for comfort. What better comfort food is there than banana bread!?!

Before heading to the store – I looked up recipes and came across this one for Easy Banana Bread which is just what I was looking for! Then I headed out to Walmart (I’m obessed with the Savings Catcher app – saved $19+ already!) to grab the essentials and picked up the secret ingredient – my favorite salad dressing, MIRACLE WHIP! While there – I decided to grab a few Christmas movies – I need to see Christmas Vacation a minimum of 5x every holiday season. It’s not just me – right?

The banana bread is so easy to make – mix together an egg, MIRACLE WHIP dressing and 3 ripe bananas. My friend Susie said she just puts all the old bananas in the freezer – then when she’s ready to make banana bread – she’s got a stash ready!

Then you mix the dry ingredients together (flour, sugar, walnuts, baking soda, salt). Once those are stirred together – add them to the banana mixture and voila – your banana bread is ready for the oven!

Bake for an hour and out comes this heavenly smelling golden brown loaf of wonderful! Doesn’t this just look perfect?! I love how the banana bread cracks open at the top – it’s just screaming for butter and a tall glass of milk!

The folks will be in the hospital with their son – so I sliced it up for them. That way they just open it up and snack away. I love the simplicity of this recipe – it’s just basic and perfect. You definitely want something tried and true when you’re making it for someone else.
