         Tips
Right before pouring your batter into your loaf pan add raisins, chocolate chips, walnuts, or butterscotch chips to the batter. Save a little to pour on top before baking as well.

If you love cinnamon as much as i do add that in with the vanilla.

If you want a super moist bread try adding 1/2 a cup of applesauce into the banana mixture. Also a good thing to use if you don't have quite enough bananas.
