Today I'm sharing my Famous Banana Bread recipe + a brand new product
that just was placed in my shop.
You'll want to snag a few for Christmas gifts!
Today is a special day!
For a multitude of reasons. First I'm sharing my famous banana bread recipe. If you are old to the blog, then you may have seen this recipe before in a slightly different version. Take a peek at that goodie HERE.
But honestly, this is the first time I've shared the original version. IT IS FABULOUS. Not a soul who has tried this banana bread has not fainted.
Kidding.
But really, throw away all old banana bread recipes you have sitting around and print off this dandy. It is the only one you'll ever need again.
Then....enter in this gorgeously designed flour sack heirloom kitchen towel. My designer and I put this together and I just cannot love it more. And did you notice? Yep, that is my handwriting on the towel.
Pretty neat, huh?
I knew I wanted to create a kitchen towel for my shop and when my designer suggested putting an actual recipe on it, I did not think twice on which one. This banana bread recipe came first to my mind and I did not second guess myself.
There were many reasons why. First, when I think cute, adorable kitchen towels I think "baking". Nothing screams coziness and home more than a fabulous baked good. Second, this recipe is requested a LOT. When I make it and bring it to whatever {coffee dates, school snacks, etc} everyone wants the recipe. Just a few weeks back when I was subbing at our church's preschool the teacher told me her college aged daughter was making it now!
This towel is a dandy.
It is made of American, high-quality flour sack cotton, HUGE in size {28x29}, very absorbant and comes folded and packaged with a cute belly band.
I can already think of about 5 people on my Christmas gift list that would love this. How much fun would it be to include it with a bottle of wine as a hostess gift? Or prehaps with a new set of loaf pans for the baker in your life?
Or maybe even for that Mom who loves to bake and stay organized - check out this option to buy my Bread & Butter book AND this towel as a combo gift.
There are so many options.
It looks pretty cool hanging on a shelf {see above} or traditionally on your stove handle. There are many ideas! I even think gifting it to someone with it wrapped around the actual banana bread would be fun.
So many possibilities.
Maybe your family requests handmade gifts at Christmas? We've done that before in our family. I find it much more fulfilling buying from small businesses than big boxed stores {don't get me wrong, I buy my fare share from Amazon, I'm not perfect}.
But these special, unique gifts that you cannot find elsewhere are pretty fun!
So here you go!
LET'S SHOP.
