Best Banana Bread

Easy to make bread from your favourite bananas, ripe or over-ripe. Use plantains, moko, silk figs or gros michel. Add walnuts and sprinkle chocolate chips on top. Banana bread is very forgiving: you can use more than three cups squashed bananas; you can bake at 350 to 400F. It's always scrunptious straight out of the oven.

 

Serve your banana bread with ice cream

Bananas, 3 cups squashed (2 plantain, 3 large bananas, 6-8 silk figs)
