Banana Bread

So here I am, up past midnight making banana bread. that's normal right? In my universe, yes! I've had a busy day of re-arranging the boys into their new bedrooms and I just happened to notice the bananas on our counter were in that "we are ripe now, do something with us before we go bad stage", which also happens to be the perfect stage for banana bread.

I love banana bread, which is strange because I don't like to eat an actual banana by itself. My Granny, who was the best cook of all time (I'm not biased either) made the most amazing banana bread. Its another recipe people think is too complex but its actually easy peasy.  Its yummy, easy, and hard to screw up. My favorite qualities in a recipe!
