Banana Bread

Hi All, Had a great birthday didn't do much cooking. I'm going into my recipe file to bring you PERFECT BANANA BREAD. I love this recipe for a couple of reasons, first of all it will take 4-5 overripe bananas, love that cause I seem to end up with old nannies all the time. This is a one bowl recipe and only asks you to stir with a wooden spoon. You can have it in the oven in less than 10 minutes. I almost always add a cup or more of frozen blueberries which makes it Blubana bread, then I will occasionally add 1/2 a cup of chopped walnuts, (a little added nutrition). Enjoy this bread warm or cold with a good cup of coffee or tea, couldn't be better. COOK ON.............
