Chandler's Most Awesome Banana Bread

Submitted by Leanne Boyd

"Yes ANOTHER banana bread recipe. This is the result of tweaking many different recipes found here, until my daughter and I found what we consider the perfect combination of ingredients. Our freezer is always full of over ripe bananas because this bread is in constant demand. Hint: Allow batter to sit in pan for about 10min prior to baking, it seems to improve the flavor. Hope you enjoy as much as we do!!"
