Yum! This is an old-fashioned banana bread recipe that's delicious. It's a very basic recipe but so good. Reminds us of something our grandmother would make. This banana bread is moist and tender, slightly dense, and has a nice crust on the outside. This would be great for breakfast or a snack.

Tips:
- Use ripe bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your banana bread will be.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing will make your banana bread tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Use a loaf pan that is at least 9x5 inches: A smaller pan will make your banana bread too thick and dense.
- Bake the banana bread until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This usually takes about 60-70 minutes.
- Let the banana bread cool completely before slicing and serving: This will help it to hold its shape and prevent it from crumbling.
