Banana bread

Hi there little one! Do you know what bananas are? They are a yummy fruit that many people like to eat. But sometimes, when bananas get really ripe and brown, people don't want to eat them anymore because they taste different.

But here's the thing - those brown bananas actually make great an ingredient for a special treat called banana bread!

First, we take those super ripe bananas and mash them up into a puree. Then we mix in some flour, sugar, eggs, and some other ingredients to make a batter.

After that, we pour the batter into a baking pan, and pop it into the oven. We let it bake for a while until it gets all warm and golden-brown on the outside and all soft and gooey on the inside.

When it's done, we take it out of the oven and let it cool down so we don't burn our tongues. Then, we slice it up into little pieces and enjoy!

Banana bread is a yummy and easy-to-make treat that's perfect for breakfast or as a snack. Plus, it's a great way to use up those bananas that you might have otherwise thrown away.
