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!

  1. 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. :)

  2. 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.
