Now who doesn’t love banana bread? I love it. This one is only 4 SP per serving. You have to remember a loaf is 18 servings. So pretty much a sliver. This is what I usually make when my bananas become overripe. I’m strange, I will eat my bananas with green on them still. Anyone else do this? Anyway, I will also freeze my bananas if I have to many. This recipe is definitely a keeper. I didn’t add the walnuts to mine. I’m not a nut person.
