Banana Bread Quest

I buy bananas everytime I go to the grocery store. Sometimes they all get eaten immediately, sometimes they sit in the kitchen untouched until they are brown and attracting fruit flies. I always feel so guilty just throwing them away when there are starving children blah blah blah. To curb my guilt and be a more domestic goddess I have taken to making banana bread with the extras. The only problem is that I could not for the life of me find a good recipe. I tried allrecipes.com and even old ward cookbooks and each time my results were mediocre. Finally today I would like to announce that I have found the perfect banana bread recipe. It is easy and delicious and if you pack it up you can send it to the starving children of the world much more easily than black bananas.
