Lately I have been in love with bananas and pecans mixed together. It is a winning/addicting combination. I can't help it. I put them in my oatmeal, on toast, ice cream, shakes and I eat them with nothing else except a healthy dose of raisins. Mmmmm.... yumm. I don't mind brown over ripe bananas. I think that they are better than plain old ripe bananas. But today, the bananas are BLACK. And I put my foot down on eating BLACK bananas. I started looking for a recipe that included pecans, chocolate chips, bananas and oatmeal. I couldn't find anything that shouted out "try me! try me!" So I decided to put something together on my own. I almost decided on cookies, but decided to make some bread so that I could take some to my neighbors. I LOVE LOVE LOVE this bread. My kids love it, too. And my house smells great!! I am going to share my recipe with you... I may tweak it a little in the future.... but then again, I might not!! Enjoy.
