Do you often find yourself with over-ripe bananas on your countertop?? We do and typically we either decide to freeze them for smoothies or lately, bake with them. Brody has been into baking lately, so we usually just try to see what we have around the house and come up with something.
Last week, we made this banana chocolate chip bread and it turned out so moist and delicious. Just a few hours after baking it, I came across a tip that sounded amazing. They said to grease your loaf pan and sprinkle a little sugar in it to give your bread the best coat around the outside. I will definitely be trying that next time!
