Banana Bread

Banana bread is a type of quick bread made from mashed ripe bananas, flour, sugar, eggs, and other ingredients such as baking soda, vanilla, and nuts. It is characterized by its moist texture and sweet flavor, typically enjoyed as a snack or breakfast item. The addition of bananas not only imparts natural sweetness but also helps in leavening, allowing the bread to rise without the need for yeast. Banana bread is often baked in a loaf pan and can be served plain or with various enhancements like chocolate chips or spices. It is a popular way to use overripe bananas that might otherwise go to waste.
