Looking for a perfect treat to get everyone going in the morning during the holiday madness.

Try this amazing banana bread recipe. It’s so delicious. Colin started baking banana bread in Hawai’i and we have taken on many different variations. I tried to spice things up a bit this holiday season by adding cinnamon and a dash of peppermint in the mix…. Try it. You will not be disappointed!

It’s a great filler while your guests or family are drinking hot chocolate and coffee but before you start preparing your huge breakfasts spread!! It’s great for gift opening too. Grab a slice of this Holiday Banana bread with a few Christmas cookies on Christmas morning or New Year’s day and get the boost of adrenaline you need to kick start your day right!

All you need is:

8 tbs butter

1 /4 cup cinnamon

1 cup brown sugar

3 eggs

4 mashed ripe bananas

2 teaspoons salt

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon peppermint extract

1 and ½ cup all purpose flour

¼ cup confectioners sugar (for sprinkling on top after baking)

All you need to do is:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees and bake for 60 minutes

First mix butter, sugar, bananas and eggs in a bowl.

Next, add in salt, baking soda, flour, cinnamon and extracts.

Continue to mix for about 3-5 minutes or until completely mashed and mixed thoroughly.

Then pop in small butter -sprayed bread pan for 60 minutes.

We like our outside edges just a little golden brown crisp with a moist center in the middle.

Add your confectioners sugar as a sprinkling dusting touch and then enjoy!!

Happy Holidays from Holiday Rising!!!
