On-purpose Banana Loaf

Do you know when we usually whip up banana bread? When we discover some overripe bananas lurking in the bottom of the fruit bowl! This recipe changed all that for me. Now we buy ripe bananas on purpose just to bake this nourishing and satisfying loaf of goodness. Bet you’ll start doing the same thing.
