Banana bread

ksmithI always like to have some kind of quick bread around the house for easy snacking. I really like this banana bread recipe because I don't need a mixer--one bowl and utensils is all.
I have started goosing it a bit by adding a tablespoon of pumpkin pie spice. Today, for some reason, I also added a few twists from the black pepper mill, I think because I've developed a taste for chocolate flavored with chili pepper bits and thought pepper might go well with spicy fruit bread. I'll know tomorrow if it added anything. I like letting the bread sit overnight before I cut into it. It doesn't taste as good when eaten fresh. No time for the flavors to meld.
It's a flexible recipe. I've added only 2 medium bananas, and wound up with a drier cake-like bread with a crunchy crust. When I add 3-4 medium bananas, I get a bread that keeps on the kitchen counter and stays moist for a week.
In other news, two loads laundry washed and in the dryer.
