The Bad Banana Bakehouse courtyard: a wooden welcome sign strung with lights, signposts pointing to Banana Rehab, Bread Therapy, The Nanas and Trouble Makers, a path to the bakehouse, and a banana in an apron waving beside a Second Chance Bananas Only sign.

Too RipeTo Be Wrong

Every banana deserves a second chance. ♥

We rescue the bananas nobody wanted: the spotted, the bruised, the ones shoved to the back of the bowl. Then we bake them into the best banana bread in Southern Highlands. One drop a week, baked to order and picked up Wednesday.

What we make

Two things. Both criminal.

We could make forty things badly. We make two things extremely well, and add more only when the nanas say so.

Loaded banana bread loaf, glaze dripping over the streusel crown, topping visible

Banana Bread

Only our baddest bananas, real brown butter, and a cinnamon streusel crown. Moist, deeply flavored, made from scratch and baked to order. Add one of twelve glazes and a topping.

$14–$20

Big Trouble box of 100 quarter-sized chocolate chip cookies, a few spilling out

Trouble Makers

Tiny crispy chocolate chip cookies, roughly the size of a quarter. No banana in them whatsoever, which is exactly the problem. See the full rap sheet.

$5–$18

The nanas at work on new recipes; mixing bowls, sewing kit cookies, bingo cards

Coming soon

Nana's Sewing Kit, chocolate-dipped butter cookie fingers. Bingo Bars. Dottie's Desert Darlings. The nanas are working on it. Slowly.

Ask nicely

The whole idea

The banana everyone throws out is the one that makes it good.

That's the joke. It's also just true. Green bananas make sad, bland bread. The black, spotted, forgotten ones, the ones you'd be embarrassed to serve anybody, are the ones with all the sugar and all the flavor.

So we buy the ugly ones. We give them a second act. And we let a small committee of opinionated banana grandmothers take the credit.

Meet the nanas Tour the facility

Better Bread Than Dead!

Comedy by Kellen Erskine · the nanas have notes

A banana granny in a pink polka-dot bandana and pearls. "With that attitude you'd probably throw away Morgan Freeman too!"
A banana granny in curlers mixing batter. "Oh baby, ripe is where the flavor lives."
A glamorous banana granny in sunglasses and a fur coat. "Wrinkles are just the flavor trying to get out."

How it works

One drop. Every Wednesday.

Orders close Sunday night. We bake Monday and Tuesday. You pick up Wednesday, before school or after.

☀️ Morning

6:00 – 9:30 AM
On your way to drop-off, or on your way to work. Coffee's your job.

🌆 Afternoon

1:00 – 6:00 PM
Swing by between school pickups. Grab a loaf instead of stopping at Smith’s. Or drive through on the way home from work and become a banana bread baddie for Daddy. If you don’t tell him we baked it, we won’t. Our peels are sealed.

📍 Porch pickup

Southern Highlands. Address goes out with your confirmation. No shipping. Nevada says so, until 2027.
