Good old classic banana bread. Yep.
When there are million types of modern cakes out there, sometimes it's just refreshing to go back to the good old classic ones. Like this banana bread.
I'm not saying the others are not delicious. Nope, not at all. In fact I've made a banana bread recipe before. It has walnuts, coconut flakes and ohhhh it's so yummy, oh yes believe me.
But today it's all about classic super simple and basic banana bread.
What Type Of Banana To Use
This recipe is perfect if you have lots of super ripe bananas laying around in your house, itching your eyes and begging you to throw them out. Well nope, don't. They might look all brown, spotty and not attractive but believe me, they're perfect for banana bread.
We always have bananas in our house. Sometimes I secretly leave them to get over ripe and ugly like that so I can bake with them.
Anyway.
Do give this super simple yet delicious, soft and super moist banana bread a try. I know you'll not regret it. At all.
