Recipe for Lemon Bread using a Griswold #877 cast iron loaf pan.
This one-pot dish is a no brainer for the family. It’s so easy you don’t need to even boil the spaghetti noodles separately. Once it’s done, take it out of the oven and serve it right in the pan. It doesn’t get much easier than that. We usually serve it with garlic or cornbread .
I scored a nice cast iron loaf pan the other day, and I couldn't wait to get home and try it out with my banana bread recipe. My mom made banana bread all the time when I was a kid. I jazzed up her recipe a few years ago for my kids by adding chocolate chips. If you want just plain banana bread, remove the chocolate chips from this recipe and add one extra tablespoon of sugar.
