Nana's Banana Bread
"This is my families favourite banana bread recipe. I use double the amount of almond extract then originally called for but 1 tsp is adequate as well. The key to this recipe is to continuesly mix the dough throughout the process. My mixer never stops from the beginning to the end of the process."
