No Fail Banana Bread
Oh banana bread, how I love thee. Let me count the ways…
I love everything about banana bread. Naturally, it’s delicious so of course I enjoy partaking of it myself (with just a smidge of cream cheese icing… Heavenly!) I adore that this scrumptious concoction can be created from bananas I would not just peel and eat. You can totally use bananas that are past their prime or a little on the old side. Plus, banana bread makes a fantastic thoughtful little homemade gift! Just add a sweet lil tag and a bow and Voila! Instant gift sensation!
