Great-Grandma's Banana Bread

Gustavo López, our Photo and Video Coordinator, shared this banana bread recipe, which was created by his great-grandmother. We decided to share it in honor of the women who embellish and keep Mexican cuisine alive by passing down their recipes from generation to generation.The best part of this banana bread is that it is made with easy-to-find ingredients or that you probably already have in your kitchen, so don't miss out on trying it!
