Banana Bread
  • Makes one loaf
Author Notes

This is just a simple banana bread recipe, great for using up those bananas that are turning brown on the counter. I find the best results to come from using three bananas, but two is also good if that is all you have on hand. We don't include nuts for allergy reasons, but you certainly could throw in a half a cup or so of walnuts. Everything gets mixed in the same microwave safe bowl... I don't believe in dirtying an extra bowl to blend the dry ingredients unless absolutely necessary! —jaimelee22

Needed a simple banana bread--no nuts, no chocolate, no frills. This recipe fit the bill perfectly. Got raves from the eaters.
