"Na-Na" Bread

For the past few days after reading a post on another mama's blog about banana bread, I decided to try this recipe so as to not waste four bananas that were browning on my counter top. Babybops eats a banana (or as he so affectionately refers to it as a, "Na-Na") every single day for breakfast with his cereal. So we end up buying about two bunches per week and I have to throw out a couple of overripe ones --- such a waste of fruit. 

The recipe calls for 2 1/3 cups of overripe bananas. In case you've never made banana bread before, that is alot of bananas. My four overripe mashed bananas came out to just under 2 cups, so I added one more yellow banana. I baked it for about 65 minutes at 350 degrees as directed, but judging by the tinged edges, I know next time to only leave it for 57-60 minutes. But it smelled delicious while it was baking and in the end turned out pretty tasty! Next time I also might try to add nuts and chocolate chips.
