Banana bread is one of my favorite comfort foods. It is so versatile and can be eaten at almost anytime of day. When I’m running late, I have yogurt and a slice of banana bread for lunch. It’s also a good snack idea when those hunger pangs hit in mid afternoon.

I too love banana bread. The thing is that I’m not too crazy about bananas – they have to be a certain firmness and ripeness – and so I seldom have them hanging around the house to use to make banana bread.
Hi Carol, I have to plan ahead before making this recipe. Like you, I like my bananas firm. Thanks for dropping by. 🙂
