Thursdays are my grocery shopping days. A wise person told me 6 years ago that stores stock up their shelves and produce section on Thursdays and one is sure to find fresh fruits and vegetables on that day. Since then, grocery days are always Thursdays. This is of course not counting the other days when am running to the store for an extra can milk or baking powder or another loaf of bread:) So while I was writing down my grocery shopping list, I peeked into the fruit bowl and there were 3 overripe bananas staring at me. I had 2 options, 1. to toss them into the trash can before the fruit flies take over my kitchen 2. Bake this beautiful bread. Obviously I happily went with option2. 60 minutes later my home was smelling beautiful and this yummy bread was on my counter. The original recipe is from here. I made some changes to the recipe. The result was a super moist, healthy, low fat bread for a quick breakfast or snack.
