Lazy-Ezy-Yummy Banana Bread (Choc Chip & Vanilla)!

Recipe makes 8 generous slices (only 6 pictured here as 2 got hijacked by hubby C during breakfast this morning!)

Don't you get let down so often by recipes that claim to be quick yet predictably nearly always falls so short of the taste test? I've had my fair share of those baking misadventures but fact is, all us busy bees want it quick and yummy and hey why not?!

My banana bread recipe is one such 'fast-to-bake-yum-to-eat' wonder. Quite hilarious to think that I stumbled upon it while watching an over-animated fast-talking TV chef at work and just couldn't scribble the recipe down fast enough..speaking of stumbling, I definitely had to make it up as I went along! It's become such an easy and fast recipe that it's simply our household staple..I mash a couple of overripe bananas, toss and whisk in all the ingredients in a jiffy, scrape down every drizzle of the batter into a small loaf tin with my silicon spatula and stick it into the oven for 45 minutes. Voila! Breakfast or afternoon tea is served. 

Also a great recipe for using up those blackened crescents that used to look like yellow bananas.
