Banana Bread

What is is about a pandemic and a quarantine that makes people want to bake? Is it all this new found time? Is it because we found ourselves eating all our quarantine snacks on the first day we have bought them? Or maybe its because now that we are required to be home, we want to hone in on a new skill?

I am not sure what the answer is, but what I do know is that for WEEKS I have been craving banana bread, but didn't want to make it while I was sick, (yes, I caught the dreaded coronavirus) so that I could revel in all of the glory that is banana bread.

So alas, I am better now and the bananas are perfectly over-ripe so check out the recipe below, and send me your pics of your own banana bread!
