Thanks to my friend Tina P. for this recipe. This banana bread has all the banana flavor we love without it being too overpowering. Makes 2 loaves. You can make muffins instead if you prefer. Prepare batter as instructed, then pour into prepared muffin trays. Bake for 20-25 minutes. Makes about 24 muffins.
