Tempt My Tummy …Best Banana Bread

I love banana bread.  It is such a great thing to bring to one of my many morning activities with friends.  I always thought I had a good recipe for my bananas.  But, my friend, Beth, always has the perfect banana bread!  I love when she brings her’s to our MOPS meetings, morning play dates, or bible study.  I finally got a hold of her recipe!! Lucky for you!  This bread is always moist and so good!
