Ultimate Banana Bread
"This is a sweet, moist, really banana-y, pretty foolproof banana bread that you can customize with your own mix-ins. The key is to let your bananas get really ripe––almost black. (You can freeze bananas at this perfect stage, too. Just freeze them whole in their skins, and when you’re ready to make banana bread, thaw them in the microwave for 1 to 2 minutes.) This recipe is easy to double. Enjoy one loaf now, and freeze one for later...."
