LIGHT AS A FEATHER BANANA BREAD



Light As a Feather Banana Bread image

I've been making this super moist bread for 14 years. My son used to enjoy this spread with peanut butter almost every day of his toddler years! Beating the egg whites separately and baking at a lower temperature give this bread a spongy texture that's "light as a feather."
