black walnut banana nut loaves
I purchased 2 pounds of over ripen Bananas for 80 cents and made dessert to feed two families, mine and my neighbor. This recipe is simple and can be made in just a few minutes. It bakes in less than an hour, and is great plain as is or with some softened butter spread on each slice. You can make it with or without the black walnuts or even use the nuts of your choice. I used 5 bananas in this recipe to give it the extra push in banana flavor, as well as a banana flavoring to enhance the flavor even more. Hope you try it. Add the extra nuts on top before baking for extra nutty flavor.
