Cassie’s Banana Bread

This is my sister Cassie’s banana bread recipe; I made it for the first time this week. Cassie’s critique was that I mashed the bananas too fine – she likes more chunks of banana in the baked loaf. So keep that in mind!

This is a nice, straightforward recipe that turns out delicious every time – or at, least every time I’ve eaten it!
