DAD'S FAMOUS BANANA BREAD



Dad's Famous Banana Bread image

By far one of the best banana breads I have ever had! Simple but well worth it! My dad will always make at least once a month. I've made a few changes from my dad's recipe by adding chocolate chips and some chopped nuts. This makes the banana bread even better, still great without those two items though. With any banana bread, make sure your bananas are over ripe or really bruised...this makes for the best bread. So the next time your bananas go bad, make some banana bread or freeze them for later. =)
