Healthier Banana Bread
This is a recipe I’ve been making since I was young. I think it is my first recipe I baked something with. I’ve also never once made a change to this recipe because it was perfect just as it was. Yesterday that changed.
I decided to see what would happen if I subbed the vegetable shortening for coconut oil. Much to my surprise it was even better. I have always thought that when making quick breads that they are better the next day. Sometimes to me when they come out of the oven they are a little dry and actually benefit from being made the day before. Coconut oil has changed that thought for me! It was so moist right out of the oven I was shocked.
