Banana Bread

I had some bananas that had gone bad on the top of the frig and so I decided to make some banana bread.

Bad bananas (you know the ones that are black and yucky) make the very best banana bread! I don't know why (and I probably don't want to know either) but they do. So if you have bad bananas don't despair. You can whip them into moist, delicious banana bread and be the "Best Mom Ever!"

So very good!

The Verdict:
This banana bread was very good. I added chopped up walnuts to it and we really liked the added flavor that they gave the bread.
The next time I am planning on adding some mini-chocolate chips to one of the loaves and seeing if we like that also.
I would also like to try these as muffins. But I will wait on that until I decide if I will be adding chocolate chips.
