Fannie Farmers Banana Bread

This incredibly easy recipe is from Fannie Farmer’s The Boston Cooking School (1942)

It is adaptable You can also replace some of the banana in this recipe with apple sauce and some of the sugar with honey. I even like to add chocolate chips to the mix. Whichever way you choose, it will be delicious
