Tasty banana bread

This recipe was given to my mum by a neighbour and is rock-steady.

It's perfect to make use of over-ripe bananas, which I usually store in the freezer.

If walnuts aren't your thing, my mum used to put choc chips in her banana bread. Which was a stroke of genius.

Or if you've some left over, why not whip up a batch of toffee sauce and serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream over a thick slice of banana bread and pudding's taken care of.
