Recipe Hints

• There is no salt in this recipe. You can add 1 tsp salt if you like, but increase the sugar to 1 cup
• Best to use bananas that are over ripe
• Add the walnuts after everything else is well mixed
• You can make one larger loaf (6" X 10" pan) or make three smaller loaves (about 6 1/2" X 4"). If you make the three smaller loaves, cut back on the baking time to 50 minutes
• Sprinkle extra chopped walnuts over the tops of the loaves
• Add some chocolate chips with the walnuts
