Banana Bread

Banana Bread. I know there are a lot of recipes for this. 

I have been making this about once a month for a couple of years and know the recipe off by heart. Just wanted to see how it went in the CC. Loved the fact that I could do it all (apart from baking of course) in the one bowl.

When I first made it I creamed the sugar and butter in the mixmaster, mashed the bananas in the food processor and then mixed in a bowl. Got sick of all that so ended up using melted butter from the microwave and mixing all by hand.

The CC did it so quickly. It turned out lovely
