It’s funny to me how bananas do or do not get eaten in my household. Sometimes, I buy bananas and they are all eaten in a day or two.
Sometimes, the bananas sit and sit, and sit until they turn brown.
I hate when they turn brown. But I guess it’s a good excuse to make banana bread.
The recipe is quite easy to make. Batter breads usually are.
And there really aren’t that many different variations. This recipe is interesting with the addition of the bran. It adds a heartiness to the bread.
The bread was a great breakfast bread. The bran gives it a little bit of a healthy aspect.
And it was a great use for my old, brown bananas.
