It is a very rare occasion I have over-ripe bananas because I’m pretty sure Spencer is half monkey. He loves bananas!
However, our last bunch of bananas were pushed far back on the counter and covered in mail. Yep, we are tidy like that, lol! The bananas were the perfect over-ripe consistency needed to make banana bread! Best part, I had 6 of them bad boys! So I could make a loaf for Steve and a loaf for me (I like chocolate chips in mine but Steve doesn’t). Even better part? The bananas were not only perfectly over-ripe but absent of any bruises or dark spots having not been touched since they were bought. It was really kind of amazing to see perfectly over-riped bananas. I just stood there for like 30 seconds in complete awe then I was like “let’s get these bad boys in the oven pronto!” These are easy to whip up and come out super moist and filled with banana nut goodness!
