A very moist, tasty bread! Everyone enjoyed it, and the kids have been coming back for seconds! I didn't mash the bananas beforehand. I simply broke them into pieces and added them to the mixing bowl with the salt, eggs, flour, etc. (In order to add them without mashing first, the bananas have to be very ripe.) The bread was done in 35 minutes. Do try this delicious recipe. It's lower in calories but doesn't taste like it! And as an added bonus, your kitchen will be filled with the most mouth-watering aroma! Mmmmmmm!!
