Banana Bread out of nowhere



2 bananas and a half, that's what was left after my sister in law came !
Ripe and black, I don't like bananas, but I still wanted to bake a banana bread.
In fact, a week before I had tried a recipe from a blog I like but it was a huge deception,
it happens and it won't stop me from picking more recipes from her blog !

Most of all, I don't like bananas, so I changed the recipe to adapt it to my taste.
I've went through a lot of different recipes. But with the basics, 
I made a version just for me and my strange taste in bananas.
It's a healthy one, and the result is exactly as I expected : soft, light, flavoured and healthy !


  Preparation    I was confident in my abilities, once you've missed the first one, the second one 
can't go much worse, right ? Really easy to make, don't overfill your pan and prefer a slow cooking 
to a fast one.

  Tasting    I really loved it, between the carrot bread and the healthy bread, this one is my favorite ! 
Still, I don't like ripe bananas and their smell !

  To conclude    I've bought more bananas, I'll add some zests, yogurt, bananas, chocolate ? 
Well I'll try other ones as soon as I find the time !
