I'M SURE everyone encounters this at some point - lonely bananas sitting there on the counter acquiring beauty spots but no one wants to go near them? Today was that day in our house and so it's time for my delectable banana bread recipe! The great thing about this recipe is that it's super easy and it uses basic ingredients which you are sure to have on hand. This recipe always turns out (even when i've had to adjust for Irish ovens and ingredients!). enjoy!
