Banana bread is classic, delicious, and easy to prepare for a quick breakfast or a light snack with a cup of tea or coffee.
I have been making banana bread for as long as I can remember. We always have a few overripe or frozen bananas and this recipe is perfect for using them up as it requires 5–6 bananas for 1 loaf. Happy baking.
Chef notes:
Try dipping a slice of banana bread in egg and then frying it in butter to make banana bread french toast, a wonderful weekend brunch idea.
I used fresh, overripe bananas for this recipe but your frozen ones will also work!

Turn the mixer off. Make a well in the center of the flour and pour in the banana mix.
