For some reason, we’ve had a ridiculous amount of bananas on the verge of going bad in our house this week. When I asked Anna what we should do with them, I expected her to say something along the lines of chocolate banana muffins. But she surprised and requested banana bread.
The surprise didn’t last long because two minutes later she requested to watch a show. Of course, she got pretty angry with me when I told her I had started with her (KIDS).
Don’t worry, this story has a happy ending. She got over her righteous indignation and helped me finish the banana bread. I even let her take the lead and be in charge of putting everything into the bowl and stirring it until it was just right.
This banana bread is everything you hope it would be: moist, sweet but not overly so, and just plain delicious. Bonus points because it takes up 4 whole bananas and is dairy-free without even trying.
Now if I could only figure out what to do with the other two bananas we have turning browner by the second.
