Banana Walnut Bread

I usually have a my kitchen stocked with fruits. We are both fruit eaters.Sometimes, I end up having some very ripe bananas and I cringe and cry because I have to throw them. I personally hate wasting food.
So I found a new way of freezing them to later use when making banana bread, muffins or even smoothies.

 

You can either peel them and freeze them on a cookie sheet and then put it in a baggie or freeze them with the peel on.
To use let thaw and mash as normal for the recipe.

 

Here is the banana walnut bread recipe, making the dough is pretty easy doesnt require any major tools a spatula is good. The bread itself came out very soft, not so sweet and simply yummy.
