[Banana Recipes] How to make Happy Mothers Day Banana Bread Gift?

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.

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees fahrenheit

Grease 10 half pint mason jars using coconut oil or butter
Pour in your batter about halfway up each half pint mason jar
Using your chocolate cinnamon swirl from above, divide it evenly throughout the 10 jars and then use a butter knife to swirl it around in the batter
Place all 10 mason jars in a rimmed baking sheet and place in the oven
Bake for 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean
Remove from oven and immediately put all your lids on using a mitt as to not burn yourself
The heat from the jars will cause a vacuum making them air tight. You will hear them start popping in about 15 minutes
Once cool, decorate and label to whomever you would like and enjoy
Slice and serve
