An excellent use for those overripe bananas sitting on your counter is Banana Walnut Bread. It is delicious for breakfast or as a snack. If I only have a banana that needs to be used I will mash it, put it in a ziplock bag and freeze it until I have enough to make this wonderful quick bread. I have tried many recipes for banana bread but have found this to be the best one. I am not sure where it came from since I have tried so many. I have also added things to it like chocolate chips, coconut, and different nuts. Give this a try. I am sure you will like it too.
