Summary
I've been making this banana bread for years, making small changes here and there. It's a great one to make with the kids, and enjoy hot out of the oven! You can make it into muffins as well, just adjust the cook time accordingly (~20 minutes for full-size muffins).

This was tasty (we made it as muffins which cooked in about 14 minutes at 350) and skipped the nuts. It is also very easy and quick to make which is great!I've cooked/tasted this recipe!
