This was very good. I used 5 bananas. It turned out perfect. I also added a handful of frozen raspberries. I made this for work and everyone told me they loved it!! I also made this in a bundt pan. Mmmmmm

I make this recipe all the time. I actually got it from a cookbook call "Beat this" by Ann Hodgman. It is a delicious and perfectly moist. I use 6 bananas instead of 3 and also add 1 Tbs of fresh lemon juice and 1 ts grated orange rind. Thanks for posting this great recipe.
