My husband says that this bread is the reason he married me! I love this recipe because it only uses one bowl and it turns out awesome every time!

Homemade Banana Bread

My husband once told me that this recipe is the reason he married me. So I love it not only because it tastes great and it got me a husband, but also because it only uses one bowl and always seems to turn out perfect. I don’t know about your family, but mine goes through 3-4 bananas per day so I almost always have extra ripe ones hanging around to make up a loaf of this awesome bread. Also, you can make them as muffins here.

    I appreciate that you know the difference between "lie" and "lay" and correctly use them.

    Oh this looks so yummy! I'm pinning it! :) Btw. I got lots of bananas today for a discount price, because the store was getting rid of the blackened ones. They are just perfect for this recipe and I'll use the rest for fruit leather and freezing for cakes and breads in the future.
