Easy Banana Bread

There's something comforting to me about banana bread.

I remember coming home from school and seeing a tupperware sitting on the kitchen counter that I knew had to either be cupcakes, rice krispie treats, or banana bread.

I actually look forward to my bananas becoming ripe just so I can make banana bread.

I got this recipe from my mother when I first got married and it's the only banana bread I'll ever make.  I've tried healthier versions, subbing out some of the butter for applesauce, or even using whole wheat flour.  While they're all better for your health, they're not better for the soul, people!

This banana bread is moist and delicious and so super simple to make.  You don't need any fancy equipment and you can pretty much just dump everything into a bowl, bake it, and you'll end up with perfect banana bread every time.
