Are you a fan of banana bread? Yay, neigh? I love a good banana bread and this is the recipe I’ve been using for a long time now. So don’t throw away those over ripe banana’s, they are perfect for this.
I don’t like a super ripe banana to begin with. I like mine with a hint of green on it, so I think its too ripe when its a dark yellow or even a streak of brown on the skin. Not everyone feels that way. But as soon as I see brown, if my husband or son aren’t gonna eat them. In the freezer they go for smoothies. I forget beyond that point and they are all brown and almost blackish… then they are absolutely perfect for banana bread or muffins. Makes for a super moist batter and outcome.
So grab those over ripe nana’s and get to baking!!
