banana bread

[JeannieOR]

There was recipe posted on this site 2 years ago for banana bread. It was a real simple recipe that did NOT call for milk. It stared out "2 or 3 ripe bananas, the blacker the better"

Well I loved that recipe but somehow I lost it. :banghead: I even pulled my stove out looking for it.

Anyone know what recipe I'm talking about? Anyone have a good, simple recipe for banana bread?

Thanks!
