Banana Nut Bread

2006 Germany · Melinda’s cookbook — Melinda Winslow

This is a really nice Banana Nut Bread. I make this any time the bananas get a bit dark, it's a good excuse. I've heard that you can let bananas get ripe and then freeze them for later use. Just freeze in the peel, the peels will turn completely brown but when you are ready to use simply remove from the freezer and let thaw at room temperature.(I have never tried this myself)
