Happy Mother’s Day Banana Bread

It never hurts to be creative, especially when it comes to gift giving.  This of course it not my original idea but it is an amazing way to package up my banana bread in a new flavor and give some delicious gifts.  The awesome thing is these seal themselves with the heat from the bread out of the oven, so no canning necessary and you can make them a few days in advance.  I got a little crazy with the flavors but this is one of my favorite variations that I have never shared with you.  Mother’s day is a special occasion so you get the special recipe.  I can’t think of a better way to tell any mom in your life you love them then giving them delicious healthy food.

Before you ask, I do not know how long these will last but since I keep my banana bread covered for up to a week I bet these will be fine too.  Of course, you don’t have to follow the recipe for this variation.  You can use the original or the other variations HERE.  All I care about, is that you make this recipe and spread the Banana Bread love.  You don’t have to use these half pint jars either, you can make bigger ones in a full pint jar.  Can’t wait to read your comments about how you make these and how people love them.
