What happens with bananas once they turn brown? One thing is for sure, nobody in my family will eat them anymore. So what do you do? Make banana bread - I know it is hardly a groundbreaking idea. I have tried to make it on several previous occasions, but it just never turned out in a way that everyone in my family loved it. Well, that was until yesterday. Yes, finally - delicious, Galactosemia safe, banana bread that everyone in my family loves
they actually love it so much, that it is gone within 24 hours :)
I adapted the recipe from the Joy of Cooking http://www.thejoykitchen.com/
It is quick, easy, delicious, and takes about 1 hour in the oven.

1. Cream sugar, vegan butter, and lemon extract together
2. Add on egg at a time
3. Add mashed bananas, or if very ripe add one at a time until well blended in
