Starting your day with a slice of sweet, flavourful banana bread crumbling softly in your mouth is just heavenly. Banana bread, an old classic favourite in most households, is one of those recipes you can never grow tired of.
The best bananas to use when baking this delicious, moist bread are those that are just a little too soft to enjoy as a snack. So, when you see black freckles appearing on the skin of the bananas in your fruit bowl, it is time to quickly whip this delightful bread together.
This is a very forgiving and versatile recipe. You can easily adjust the recipe according to what you have in your kitchen. Also add some variation by adding walnuts, raisins or even chocolate chips.
