Use always over ripe Bananas that nobody wants to eat. Don’t throw them yet. Make this quick and easy banana bread recipe with them and see it being devoured . I prefer making my banana bread with oil instead of butter as it makes it lighter and moist . In addition I also add chocolate chips as my grand kids love their banana bread with chocolate chips . I prefer brown sugar as it contains molasses which gives a nice Carmel flavour and makes a dense and moister bread you can also use granulated white sugar . I have used pecan instead of walnuts or you can use any nuts of your choice to add the texture or skip it to keep it nut free .
