Banana Bread from Scratch

Do you have a recipe for banana bread from scratch? Thanks.
-Rick 

Hello Rick,
You’ve come to the right place! My Nana’s Banana Bread recipe is an all-time favorite, and one of my most popular recipes!  I hope you enjoy it as much as my family does!

    What is the reason for a cake to come out too crumbly? Is it because of over beating or keeping the batter out for long time or is it because of too much baking soda? I baked a carrot cake; it was so soft and crumbly that it fell below the resting tray!

    Hello Betty, You have a great site. I am living in Kansas and originally from Boston, MA, and was wondering if you could maybe list a recipe on how to make New England Clam Chowder. (Although I’m not sure where I am going to get clams for the chowder.) Again, I want to thank you for this wonderful site. --Archie
