Banana bread with bourbon, spices, cherries & chocolate chips Recipe adapted from Smitten Kitchen I am super guilty of always buying bananas and completely neglecting them until the only thing I can do is make banana bread. They always seem like such a good idea in the store. I think, maybe I'll make smoothies this week, or have them on toast but it never ends up happening. I just end up with 3 or 4 overripe bananas. I've experimented around with creating different kinds of banana bread, but I have finally settled on my go-to favorite kind. Does anyone remember when Peet's Coffee had chocolate cherry banana bread? Or wait, do they still make it?? Either way, that was always a favorite of mine and so I began substituting nuts in my banana bread for dried cherries. The last time I decided to make banana bread, I was searching for some new twist when I came across Smitten Kitchen's Jacked Up Banana Bread. Banana bread with bourbon? Sign me up! I updated her recipe a little by using my favorite spices and of course chocolate chips and cherries! This is also one of the easiest recipes ever! I hope you like this banana bread as much as I do. I might need to go make some right now actually... [ INGREDIENTS ] 3 very ripe bananas, smashed 1/3 cup salted butter, melted ¾ cup brown sugar 1 egg 1 ½ tablespoons bourbon (I used Bulliet) 1 teaspoon baking soda Pinch of salt 1 teaspoon cinnamon ½ teaspoon nutmeg 1/8 teaspoon cardamom 1 ½ cups plain flour 1 cup chocolate chips ½ heaping cup chopped dried cherries [ DIRECTIONS ]

My lovely neighbor always shares her very own banana bread every time she makes one. As much as I can remember, she always makes banana bread every Saturday morning and she will share it after lunch because of some unknown reason. Mrs. Brown is such a sweet person and I will always be thankful of having her because she reminds me of how blessed this world is because there is someone like her. I might do something special for her this coming weekend as well to make her feel my gratitude.
