Banana Bread from Turrialba, Costa Rica

Costa Rica

Some of my memories of Costa Rica are not only the rainforest and happy time with friends and family, but also the delicious banana bread that my mom took out of the oven especially on rainy days.

It is moist and nutty with an aroma of home to me!
I hope everybody can enjoy it because I made it all the time at my house and my friends are really fans of it 🙂
