2 nights ago I made a lovely batch of banana bread with a few bananas about to go bad...I'm so glad I hunted down this recipe off my favorite food blog Simply Recipes because it was easy, took no time at all and the bread it delicious.
Do this as a "thank you" for someone or store it away in the freezer for another time...if anything you'll be treated with a cozy aroma of baked banana bread.
