This is a really good basic banana bread with a rich, buttery taste, so if you have some ripe bananas you will need to keep this recipe in mind! The batter bakes into two yummy 8 x 4″ loaves.
Another interesting note is that I adapted this banana bread from a recipe that is said to be very similar to the banana bread served at the Disneyland Hotel! I have never stayed there or had their banana bread, so I can't vouch for that claim, but I do like the way this one tastes! :) One change I made though, is that I added chopped pecans into the batter.
Next time you have ripe bananas, you'll have to try this out and see what you think! :)
