I was happy to use my overripe bananas to try this recipe. It is good! What makes it 2018 recipe of the year (and I was skeptical) is its versatility. I opted for whole grain, reduced fat, reduced sugar options, but I didn’t want to go too far. I love how my final product is slightly sweet, tender and full of banana flavor. For me, it is perfect. And I look forward to baking a gluten-free version for one friend and a version with lots of mix ins for another friend, and I have already shared the recipe with a third friend. Absolutely recipe of the year!
