I’ve heard of companies shipping cookies and cupcakes and even ice cream, but banana bread?

And let me tell you, when I finally tried it, it completely exceeded my expectations.

Not only are the unique flavors (Oreo!

wildly creative and delicious, it’s also the moistest banana bread I’ve ever hadperiod.

I recently talked with her about how she got started and how she goes about creating new flavors.

On average we go through about 1500 bananas a week.

So we usually use the batch from the previous week to make this week’s banana bread.

But if they do come ripe and we don’t use them right away, we freeze them.

Ive heard of people selling cookies, cakes, and cupcakes online, but not banana bread.

How did Allies Banana Bread come about?So this is actually my grandma’s banana bread recipe.

I’ve been making it my whole entire life.

I learned to make it when I was six.

In middle school I would always bring banana bread for bake sales.

I made an Instagram for it, and it just started growing.

And then one day I realized I could make the same amount of money just making banana bread full-time.

And she was like, “I don’t wanna sell ityou can sell it.”

And eventually I did.

But I mean she’s still the one that brings the banana bread to our holidays and stuff.

Let me try adding Oreos to this.

And it was just so good.

I just give a shot to think of something that goes well with banana.

TheFruity Pebblesone is funnyit’s nostalgic, and I’ve never seen anyone do that before.

And then there’s more simple ones, like the salted caramel.

So it was kind of just me experimenting and having fun.

And it’s great because people really want to try the limited-time flavors.

you’re able to take a piece and toast it and then put chocolate or butter on it.

Have you ever tried a flavor that just totally flopped?Oh yeah.

Anything with caramel is kind of difficult because it also burns quickly, too.

Would you ever expand intootherloafs?Yeah, I think eventually for sure.

But I do think I have some other recipes I want to sell at some point.

And so now my goal is just to get the word out more and then eventually get a storefront.
