Banana Bread

Overview
Whenever I have over ripe bananas at home I try to make this banana bread which is moist and delicious. My boys love them. Walnuts adds the nutty flavor and texture to this bread. Mashed ripe bananas keep this bread moist. This is pretty easy to make and I mix all ingredients with hand.
