I have had over ripe bananas in my kitchen on two separate occasions in the last few weeks. Every time I get set to find my Auntie Anne’s recipe, I come back and their are gone! Well, this time I hid those bananas, (in my Christmas present hiding place) and went in search of that recipe. Well, I just couldn’t find it. I know it is here somewhere so I searched the web for a similar one. Smells good so far! And special thanks to Simply Recipes. Go check out her other recipes. She has some good ones over there. I can’t wait to try out some others.

I love banana bread! I always save my ripe bananas thinking I will make some and then I finally throw them away. I need to follow your recipe and actually make some this time! Thank you for sharing at #BloggingGrandmothersLinkParty
Thank you Lori. I found about 8 bananas in my freezer waiting to make something with them. Looks like I need to follow my own advice. Have a great day!
