Banana Bread 1
"In searching for the perfect banana bread recipe, I was excited to find this at allrecipes.com. It features brown sugar, which I remember being an ingredient in my mother's perfect banana bread! Her bread was dark brown and very moist; heavy even, which is the way I love it! This recipe turned out OK but it was a bit dry, definitely not the moist bread I remember! The bread rose quite high. I doubled the recipe to make two loaves, since I had a whole bag of over-ripe bananas. Still I thought the amount of mashed bananas called for was way too much, so I halved it (as reflected in the ingredients list below). My search continues..."
