Banana Bread
When I was young, my grandma used to always bake banana bread for us, and we'd eat a slice for breakfast every morning before school. Now that I'm older, I've found myself frequenting coffee shops in the morning, searching for the sweet smell of fresh baked banana bread. On most day, a slice is not difficult to find, but every once in a while, my go to spot sells out before I can reach it. For those days, I've started baking my own.
Banana bread is very simple to make, and this recipe is very straightforward, though I've added my own twist by baking the bananas with sugar first to add a little caramelization and bring out the banana's aroma.
Hope you enjoy!

Do you ever end up with a bunch of overripe bananas sitting on your counter at the end of the week? 🤓This Classic Banana Bread is perfectly light sweet, moist, and full of flavor! Perfect for breakfast or dessert! You can use brown sugar instead of white (which makes a denser, moister bread).

Try this recipe if you have a pair of left over bananas - those which are overly ripe and the skins have slightly darkened. The quantity is enough for a 20x10x5 pan.

A delicious version of banana bread with greek yogurt and chocolate chips.It is essential that you use very ripe bananas that have many brown spots or even a completely browned peel.
