"Kona Inn" Banana Bread

This morning I had the nastiest, ripest bananas of all time sitting on my kitchen counter.  They were the kind of bananas that fell out of their peels just by being picked up gently - super mushy and gross. They should have been tossed in the trash days ago. However, in an effort to keep the peace with the starving kids in China that my parents always told me about, I decided to not be wasteful and to bake banana bread instead.  But wait... no vanilla!!!  What to do?

I googled "Banana Bread No Vanilla" and guess what I came up with!  A recipe for Banana Bread... (wait for it....) with NO VANILLA!  Hooray!

Not only does this recipe have only the most basic ingredients, but it was probably the best banana bread I've ever made.
