Btw, for those interested, this banana bread recipe, from Simply Recipes, could not be simpler to make -- or more yummy. Note: to make the banana bread even yummier, add 1/2 cup of raisins.

I wish I lived nearby because that looks delish! I sometimes add macadamia nuts to my banana bread. I'm not usually a big fan of nuts in bread, but it's really good.
Mmm... macadamia nuts...
FYI, I just added a pic of the banana bread sliced, so you can see the inside.
Just wish I could post the smell.
We have a similar go-to banana bread recipe. I always make sure we have brown sugar in the house if four bananas go uneaten too long.
What is the yellow thing lurking in the bowl?
I just did a taste test and it is as good as it looks... I think a little orange zest or lemon zest might be a good tweak to this recipe to balance out the sweetness...
@Dave S., that yellow thing lurking in the bowl is the orange I did not zest. (Orange or lemon zest? Really @Furbo?)
