This banana bread really is bananas because of how good it is.
Banana bread something I made all the time as a kid. I would secretly hope that no one would eat the bananas so that they would turn brown and I would be able to make banana bread. Or I would beg my parents to buy that ridiculously big bag of nearly brown naners at the store. Either way, it was one of my favorite things to make.
I no longer use the same recipe that I did when I was little because, well, it's simply not the best recipe. I feel like I should be charged with treason by my childhood for saying that, but it's true. I found a recipe that was really good and modified it a bit to make it my own [and better ;)].
Sweet breads are possibly my favorite baked good. Possibly.
