Banana kolac

Sometimes when bananas are over ripe and turning almost black, it is not so appetizing to just peel and enjoy. And even though I would love to bake more, both me and Blaž are not huge fans of sweets and cakes. I still like to eat a piece or so, Blaž says, ‘sweets are just backup plans for when you do not have anything else nice’! Therefore, this simple cake using the over ripe bananas was a nice idea. It doesn’t use creams, thus it is more light and good for a quick snack. I always liked this one, and finally learnt from Blaž’s grandma to make it. A simple recipe resulted into this tasty quick snack for the times when one is hungry.
