  1. It looks wonderful. I love banana bread but ours never last long enough to get to that perfect mashing stage. I guess that's why I have zucchini bread in the oven right now!

  2. Sometimes I buy the over ripe bananas at the store. You can freeze then also, when they are yellow and speckled. Zucchini bread is
    good, too.
