Classic Banana Bread

August 26, 2014 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 6 Comments

Hi Everyone,

I was thumbing through my recipes checking out my banana bread recipes and I realized I have a bazillion of them, but one that was missing from my collection was a Classic Banana Bread.  I love changing it up, but I have been told by some, to just stick to classic, traditional recipes.  Fine, I’ll do that.  So with that in mind I made a low-calorie, classic banana bread that is simply amazing!  I guess it is always nice to stick to classic, but ummmmm, I do love to change it up and have fun!  So let me introduce to you the newest banana bread recipe to my collection, the Classic Banana Bread.
Classic Banana Bread
This bread is light, moist, fluffy and if you’re a banana bread fan, I think you will enjoy this recipe. It is delish! I ate like 3 slices while photographing it. I know, that is well more than a serving, but I had to test it, and then I had to smear butter on it and well I just had to eat it! I can’t help myself. I’m kind of banana bread fanatic!
Classic Banana Bread
To lighten up this recipe I made a few modifications, I used greek yogurt, egg substitute and Brummel and Brown butter, which is only 45 calories a tablespoon. It was not my intent, but since I am going on vacation, I wanted to use up the ingredients that I had and I don’t plan to go grocery shopping before vacation. I was kind of surprised, but the bread turned out buttery, which is just awesome considering I used a margarine in it.

The recipe is super-duper easy to make too. I beat together the sugar and butter, then added the eggs, vanilla and chopped up banana in it. I didn’t feel the need to mash the banana a head of time, just beat it in the liquid. Then I slowly added my flour mixture, just until combined, and placed in my bread pans until done. It takes about an hour to bake. I doubled up the recipe and made two loaves of bread, one for home and one for work.

This bread is amazing, just slightly warmed up in the microwave and slathered with butter. It’s a perfect for an on the go breakfast. I got great reviews on the recipe and I am sure to be making it again,especially around the holiday time.

Have a great day!

    Made this last night and it was absolutely delicious. So moist and yummy. My bananas were as brown as bananas can get which was perfect for this bread. My 17 month old loved it as well. Thank you for a great recipe.

I want to give my apologies to the folks in the Philadelphia area. I seemed to have brought the California rain with me when I was there Thursday-Saturday. 😂 Hopefully you got some sun after I left.

This is a view if my livingroom. I really like how I styled my console table. The bunny sign and egg tree are from my friends @12timbers. I’ll be sad when Easter is over.

Happy Tuesday!! Another dreary day at the Bay! I k Happy Tuesday!! Another dreary day at the Bay! I know I complain about the weather a lot, but this seriously blows my mind in how crappy it is here. I need to get into the garden. It’s my happy place.
🐰
Today I am sharing with you a spring vignette that I created. I just love tulips this time of year. Though, they seem to be out all year at Trader Joe’s, which is kind of strange. I can’t wait until they get peonies and lilacs. My two favorites.
🐰
The candles are from my friends @goldhillcandleco. They are hand poured, 100% soy and have a wooden wick. They smell so fresh and clean. These two candles are from the March subscription box. I highly recommend.

Happy first day of Spring! Though you wouldn’t k Happy first day of Spring! Though you wouldn’t know it in California. We are still getting rain and it’s in the mid 50’s. We should be in the 70’s by now. I wonder what the summer temps will be like this year?
🌺
Even though it may not feel like Spring,  there is no reason why we can’t start prepping for it. It’s going to be time soon to plant flowers, add a floral wreath to the front door and of course a welcome mat to invite everyone to your home. 
🌺
I wanted to share with you my new welcome mat that I got from @cocomatsnmore. They just had their Spring release and oh my gosh so many cute ones. I love there welcome mats. They are thick, bright colors and fast shipping. I absolutely love the flowers and the saying “Live Life in Full Bloom”. It’s so very true.
🌺
What are you most looking forward to this Spring?

I did have a very hard time taking my sink tray off the counter. I’ve had the tray there for years, so I thought I would change it up. Don’t be surprised if the sink tray makes its way back. 😂 I may add some herbs to my window sill for some fresh green color.

Happy Friday! Our next winter storm is here! It is Happy Friday! Our next winter storm is here! It is just awful out there. Heavy rain, high winds and hail. This is not a winter that we are used to in California.

My husband and I are not fancy when it comes to eating dinner. Since it’s just the two of us, we never use the dining room table, but always eat at the kitchen counter.
🥕
There is no reason why we can’t eat fancy at the kitchen counter. I am using my new placemats that I got from @vmathome. They are thick, water, stain resistant and can handle heat up to 350F degrees. I love the color and style of the placemats. They have a wide variety of styles and colors, along with matching table runners.
🥕
I styled my table with bright spring colors that I was inspired by carrots. I still have bunnies on the brain. lol I had fun with this place setting, it’s so nice to have dinner with a little style then having it on a plain plate and paper napkins.
🥕
Have a wonderful weekend!!

I’m sharing with you my media table all decked out for Easter. I just love decorating for spring and Easter. Something about pulling out the bunnies that makes me smile.

I am loving my Wanted Bunny sign that I got from @12timbers. I love that it’s a neutral color that will go with any style and color. The sign comes in three sizes, and you can choose the coloring of the background and design color.
🐰
The Jute Tree with the Eggs and the Wooden Bunnies are also from 12 Timbers. The Jute Tree is so much fun to add to your decor. I love the colors of the felt eggs.

So much fun to add anywhere in your home.

Happy March 1st! Everyday is a day closer to Sprin Happy March 1st! Everyday is a day closer to Spring. I looked back last year at this time and my garden was starting to flourish. Boy you should see it now. It’s a big muddy mess. With all the rain and high winds we sure have a huge mess to clean. I can’t wait until we get some warm days. 
🐰
I’m sharing with you one of my favorite vignettes that I created last year. I may have a slight obsession with bunnies. Every year I say no more buying bunnies, but then I end up with a few more in my collection. Lol
🐰
Have a beautiful day!
