The smell of banana bread baking is always welcome at our house. Along with being such a great baker, my mother also made good use of everything! Subsequently, when the bananas were brown, we got banana bread! Obviously she used bananas, but she also would add in a “pinch” of this and a pinch of that.
In addition to a simple ingredient list, this banana bread is made in a blender!
