Simple Banana Bread / Kek Pisang Mudah

My sis baked this seriously simple and moist (more so the next day of baking it) banana bread. Toast a slice and add a knob of butter on the warm slice - heaven! This recipe is taken from one of my cooking mentors, the inspirational Mr Mat Gebu (as we all fondly refer him as) from his blog Dapur Tanpa Sempadan. TQ Abg Mat!
