Banana bread
Description
Have you ever tried banana bread? No? Then it's the perfect time to make this fragrant loaf that's more like a cake: sweet, dessert-like, with bananas and nuts. Use very ripe bananas, with brown spots on the peel. This way, you'll also get rid of any overripe fruit that's no longer suitable for eating, if you happen to have one in your fridge. The bananas will mash easily and blend into the batter smoothly. You can mash the bananas with a fork or using a blender. In the latter case, the batter will be more liquid. Let the bread rest on the counter after baking. If you slice it while still hot, it might seem underbaked. Actually, it's not—it should be slightly moist inside. Serve it cooled down or slightly warm.
