Basic Banana Bread Recipe
Banana bread is perfect for breakfast or lunch. It's also a great way to use bananas that are brown and spotty. I like to double this recipe and make a big batch of banana bread on a lazy Sunday afternoon, that way I have a slice for every day of the week. Serve banana bread warm with a pat of butter, or dollop of cream or yogurt.
