Banana Bread

Today the kids and I made the best tasting banana bread ever! I knew it would be good when I licked the bowl and the batter tasted good.
The kids mashed the bananas

measured the ingredients

stirred the batter and poured it into bread pans. Then we waited. We ended up eating it for dinner with lots of veggies, edamame and cheese. It was so good.

Here's the recipe to try on your own.

1 tsp. vanilla
2 1/2 c. all-purpose flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp salt
