Does anyone else buy slightly browning bananas just so they can make banana bread the next day? Tell me I’m not the only one, please?

For me cinnamon flavoured food just screams autumn days full of long walks through the woods, a countryside filled with green and brown hues, and the comfort of woolly jumpers, boots and scarves.
