Author Notes: When you have that one last old banana to get rid of! This is so easy and healthy – I use a mini loaf pan for this and its perfect for two. It can also be made into about six muffins. For a vegan version, substitute any nut milk and 1 tbsp flaxseed+ 3 tbsp water for the egg.
This tastes better thoroughly cooled or the next day! —JC
