Banana Nut Bread

I totally love banana bread......as long as there are nuts in it. It's a great way to put those left over bananas to good use. The older the bananas, the better the flavor of your banana bread. When my bananas are getting old, I usually put them in the fridge and leave them there until the skins turn good and black, before I use them. Putting them in the fridge is beneficial in other ways as well......bananas left spoiling on the counter top will attract fruit flies......YIKES!
