I had some really, really ripe bananas that absolutely needed to be made into banana bread. It had to be done.
I love this recipe for two reasons. First, it has lots and lots of bananas in it, like 5. Second, it has bourbon in it. Bourbon really accentuates the banana and adds a depth of flavor. This bread is moist, flavorful with a hint of spice.
Mushy!
Mix in the butter, brown sugar, eggs, bourbon and vanilla.
Add in the flax seed, salt, baking soda and flour.
Hot out of the oven with a bit of powdered sugar.
Another view.
With a bit of butter, just a bit. Butter makes everything better.
Enjoy!
much love!
