Mmm… Banana Bread!!!
This is great anytime, anywhere, it is just great. This recipe happened because we had a lot of ripe bananas. Sure, we could have made two loaves of banana bread. But… why not have more banana goodness in just one loaf. The recipe has a rich flavor, the additional ripe bananas make it sweetener.
