Banana Orange Bread

Banana Orange Bread

I came home for memorial day weekend. For some reason there was orange juice in the fridge. Which is rare. Especially considering I have to remind my dad to go out and buy milk for when I come home.

There was also some old bananas sitting on the counter. Being resourceful, I knew I must combine them to form something. We were missing some other important ingredients in the house so I had to substitute. Thus banana orange bread was born. A perfect way to use whatever fruit juice/fruit you may have laying around.

I didn't want this bread to be too sweet. So if you want a more dessert like bread go ahead and add more sugar. This one is breakfast approved. I brought it back to school with me and it became my breakfast for the week.
