Banana bread is a very versatile kind of bread, as you can make different variations out of it. It’s a good way to add in the fruit, if you don’t feel like eating it on its own.
As you age, you don’t always feel like having the iced or frosted cakes or desserts. That’s when the fruity desserts and breads come into play. Though, I don’t firmly believe that it has anything to do with age but that’s what happened with me. But, this banana bread is a hit with both kids and adults. It’s also an easy and healthy snack for kids’ lunch boxes.
I got this recipe from a friend many years ago, and I have been using it for a long time, it’s a fool proof recipe and can be put together in no time. If you have those ripe bananas lying in your fruit basket, it’s time to make this.
