I have shared so many banana bread recipes in the past such as this chocolate chip banana bread and this cinnamon swirl banana bread. However, I realized that I have yet to share a plain banana bread here. I am surprised because I love plain banana bread and my family does too!
This recipe is simple and easy. I used 4 ripe bananas and I reduced the sugar. It came out delicious as always, especially with a cup of coffee or milk.
