This bread is insanely delicious and easy to make! We recommend serving it warm with a little vanilla ice-cream, but won't judge you if you have a slice for breakfast! It is made with bananas after all!

- In a large bowl, mash the bananas with a fork. Add the melted butter and oil and stir until combined. Stir in the brown sugar, egg and vanilla extract. Stir until smooth.
