When I was little and the bananas would start to get little black spots on them, no one would eat them. My dad nicknamed it the speckled death. So my mom would use them to make banana bread. I LOVE the way baking banana bread makes my house smell! It is a classic recipe with my own little trick thrown in to make it extra good.
