Banana bread can be quite addicting. And what I mean by that is that if you make an entire loaf of banana bread, you cut a slice and keep going back for more because it’s so good. That’s okay if you have plenty of people around to share your loaf. But sometimes you just want a little taste without having a big loaf at hand. And that’s why having a recipe for a mini loaf is so great. Keep it all to yourself, or share it with a friend!

This recipe comes from The Ultimate Baking for One Cookbook by Kelly Jaggers. The book includes 175 super easy recipe made just for you (no sharing required!) Truth be told, I think most of these can be made for you and one other person. It’s nice to have a single portion of cookies, cakes, breads, breakfast treats and other baked goods because you’ll eat some and then have some leftovers. But you can share those leftovers with someone else, if you’d like! Sometimes you just don’t need three dozen cookies. So that’s where this cookbook comes in handy. You can make six cookies instead!
