Banana Bread

As mentioned; last night I decided to do some baking and besides cookies, banana bread is one of my go-to's.  I came across this recipe years ago, literally. After testing other recipes, I've always stuck with it. At any given time, we usually have several browned bananas in our freezer.  It's kind of embarrassing when someone is over and goes to grab ice.  I think all of our close friends now know why there are brown bananas in our fridge (we initially got some weird looks/questions).

Yum!! (not)





Directions:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F
• Using wrapper from butter, grease 9"x5" inch loaf pan
