I love serving an assortment of quick breads for breakfast when we have company. Banana bread is one of my favorites. It pairs great with yogurt, fresh fruit or your morning coffee. This is the perfect way to use those up those over ripe bananas you have on your counter (the riper the bananas the better). Hint: NEVER put bananas in the refrigerator or they will turn black.
