My husband Chris is a big banana bread fan. I had quite a few left over really ripe bananas that needed to be used and I came across this recipe for the use of FIVE over ripe bananas on Recipe Girl. Perfect! I used her recipe but subbed egg whites for the whole eggs as that's all I had and I added vanilla, cinnamon and walnuts. Hubby has been happily eating away so it must be good. Thanks Recipe Girl!
Ingredients
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
¼ tsp salt
1/4 tsp cinnamon
½ cup butter, softened
1 tsp vanilla
¾ cup (packed) brown sugar
2 large eggs, beaten or equal amount of egg whites
5 mashed over ripe bananas (2 1/3 cups)
1/4 cup chopped walnuts
Directions
1. Preheat oven to 350F and spray a loaf pan with cooking spray.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, soda, cinnamon and salt; set aside.
3. In a bowl or mixer cream together butter, vanilla and brown sugar. Stir in eggs and mashed bananas until well blended.
4. Stir banana mixture into flour mixture and add nuts; stir just to moisten.
5. Pour batter into prepared loaf pan. Bake 60- 65 minutes, or until toothpick inserted in center of loaf comes out clean.
6. Allow bread to cool in pan for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely.

I'm with your hubby - LOVE banana bread.
If you do the squash recipe (doesn't matter which one
you use as long as it's large), make sure I don't miss
it because I KNOW you are going to put an interesting
twist on things. :)
That looks amazing! I need to go find some overripe bananas! For some reason the ones at Publix are always bright green,and we eat them as soon as they ripen.
