I have to say I am unsure why I don't make this easy to make banana bread more often. There are often old bananas in our house and I really should cut down on waste by making these. Even big man enjoyed them and he claims not to be that keen on bananas. I made these with all 3 boys at once. A recipe for disaster you may think, but they worked together well with the promise of being able to lick the bowl. We divided our mixture in half as big and middle man wanted to make cupcakes and little man a loaf. Personally if you are making the recipe with children, I would spoon it into cupcake cases. It cooks so much quicker and they will have to wait less time to try their baking.



When it comes to adding raisins it is your choice. I tend to add them, in a hope of putting me off eating it (I'm not a dried fruit fan.) Chocolate chips would also work well in it.
