Easiest Banana Bread Ever

 

Not only is this the easiest banana bread ever it is also yummy, moist and completely addictive. I don’t know where I got the original recipe but I am eternally grateful to the author. I have tweaked it, hugely decreasing the sugar and adding in some brown flour. Most recipes do not need nearly as much sugar as called for. This one originally called for 1 whole cup of sugar. Way too much in my opinion especially since overripe bananas are already quite sweet. I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as my family does.  Enjoy!



A note about non-stick cookware:  I refuse to use it and have not yet found a bread pan without some sort of non-stick coating so I bake my loaf in a shallow ceramic oval. The non-stick coating on pots, pans and other cookware breaks down and emits toxic particles and gases when heated up. Yikes!

Next time I'm going to try making this with gluten-free all purpose flour.  I'll let you know how that turns out.  If you have any ideas for variations let us know.  Leave a comment!
