I don't know what I did wrong but it turned out tasting great! I doubled the recipe and the bread (2) were OVERFLOWING in my oven and kept burning on the heating element! Did I mix the butter too long? Why did it overflow? It tasted wonderful but don't know what I did wrong.

This is the absolute best banana bread I have ever eaten. It is moist and buttery. I'll never use another recipe for banana bread. This one is perfection.
