Banana bread is one of my favorite breads, muffins, you name it. Not only is it a classic, but you could pretty much enjoy it anytime of the day. Recently I discovered an easy banana bread recipe and I just had to share it with you.
Now the secret to a delicious banana bread is ripe bananas. The darker the better, but if you can’t wait for the bananas to get brown, you could also use speckled brown bananas. If your bananas are still green, wait a day or two. Trust me, you won’t regret it.

Keep in mind that the bread will bake for an hour, so give yourself enough time to stick around until the bread is fully baked. It may seem like a long time, but your home will smell amazing!
