This simple, one-bowl banana bread recipe is the definition of comfort food for me. It's slightly sweet (not cloying), supremely moist and tender, and flavored with the simplicity of butter and bananas.

If you’re anything like me, your freezer is full of overripe bananas destined to become banana bread – or a smoothie. It’s a great hack for on-the-fly baking, just defrost your bananas before you start baking and you’re good to go.

Banana bread is universally beloved. But you can amp this treat up even further by adding one simple, delicious, and healthy ingredient.
