Notes
- *To check for the doneness of the bread, insert a skewer in its center. If it come out clean then the bread is well baked, if not bake for another 10 minutes
- Use well ripened and browned bananas for the bread for a more enhanced taste
- You could also use chocolate chips, nuts, raisins and/or dried fruits like cranberries etc.
- You can increase the amount of honey/maple syrup if you wish the bread to be sweeter
