Ah banana bread. A simple favorite that warms the belly.
Just imagine the kitchen nice and toasty from the oven heating. After just a few mins of prep and mixing, you slide this easy mixture into the oven and soon the whole house is filled with this aroma of sweet banana's and vanilla. They poof and suddenly turn a wonderful golden brown. DING! done..
Now, hold tight, you need to let them cool off a bit. Trust me, it's worth the wait.
Ok, now, go ahead and slice it, run that butter knife right down the middle. Since these are actually low fat, adding butter to it will kinda defeat the purpose. (I'll turn around for a minute)
Ready? ok, take a bite. Soft, sweet, and a slight chew. Then it simply melts in your mouth.
Mama's Banana Bread. Enjoy.
