So...the kids have been asking for Bananas and me and my husband went out one day and both of us got Bananas. As the story of any house with kids goes...after eating a couple of them the kids were done with bananas. So...what does a good mom does...uses the leftover fruits in different ways. And one of those ways of using Bananas is Banana Bread ofcourse.
This Banana bread turned out to be so yummy...here is the original post
