With the arrival of Fall, the leaves are changing color and falling in the cool crisp breeze. It’s my favorite time of year for baking up goodies in the oven! One of my favorite things to bake is bread! As an added bonus, there is nothing more pleasant than the delicious smell wafting through our home. While we have several mouth watering bread recipes, one of my family’s favorites is this yummy Gingerbread Banana Bread with Chocolate Chips! To me, it’s more like a dessert than bread and who doesn’t like dessert?
