Easy Banana Bread

Summer is here and I am enjoying all my free time. The weather has been warm and I have been going out for longs walks and doing lots of gardening. I also have a lot more time for cooking. The other day, I decided to make a classic easy banana bread out of the ripe bananas I had.

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.
