Banana bread is one of those classic recipes that you probably grew up making with your mother in the kitchen. I made this recipe with my mom so often and now I love getting in the kitchen with my own kids to make a family favorite. Kids enjoy peeling and mashing the bananas, as well as mixing it all together and sneaking tastes before it goes into the oven.

  1. I made this today, and followed the recipe exactly, no substitutions made. I baked it forever, longer than the time suggested, and it never ended up being done in the middle. I eventually covered it with foil because the top was getting too dark, but when I finally gave up and took it out of the oven, the top was still extremely dark, despite the foil, and the inside was completely gooey. Is there a possible reason this happened? It smelled really good, just never ended up being done!
