AUNT CARRIE'S BANANA BREAD
This not "just another" banana bread. I've made it time and time again throughout the years. It's from an old and yellowed recipe clipping (50 plus years old) from my local newspaper that my great aunt had written her own success notes beside. My aunt was a caterer, and she writes that this banana bread was her most requested treat for her teas and luncheons.

Tips:
- Always use ripe bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your banana bread will be. Look for bananas with brown spots on the skin.
- Use a combination of flours: All-purpose flour is a good base, but adding a little bit of whole wheat flour or oat flour can add extra flavor and texture.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can make your banana bread tough, so mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the banana bread at a moderate temperature: This will help to prevent the bread from drying out.
- Let the banana bread cool completely before slicing: This will help to keep the bread from crumbling.

With its moist texture and sweet flavor, banana bread is sure to be a hit with everyone in your family. So next time you have some ripe bananas on hand, give this recipe a try.
