TIPS:
Freeze overripe bananas until you have enough to make this luscious banana bread. Just pop them, peel and all, into the freezer. They can stay there for up to 3 months!
Grease and flour your pans before pouring the batter into them, and you’ll have a lot less of a mess to clean up afterward. To grease them properly, your pans need to be sprayed with a good layer of cooking spray, then tossed with 1/4 cup Gold Medal® all-purpose flour until all sides of the pan are coated with flour. Gently tap out any excess flour. Your pans are now ready for the batter and baking!

I just made these to take to the hospital where my nephew is having a very serious surgery. I guess I am a believer that good food makes everything better and easier to deal with! I’ll let you know if that, combined with lots of prayers is effective. LOVE all the variations too!
