Notes: Another great recipe from the Joy of Cooking. Once I saw how popular the pumpkin bread was, I tried the banana bread, with great results! I did make a few adjustments again - as noted above, I freeze overly ripe bananas and then thaw them before making this bread. There will be a lot of liquid in the bag, but its very sweet and I think it adds to the flavor of the bread. The original recipe called for 2 bananas, but I find 3 was the best. And lastly, I added the chocolate chips. People always seem to love those!
