Whole Wheat Banana Nut Bread

SUBMITTED BY: PEDGI  PHOTO BY: Andrea 

"This is a moist banana bread recipe that I make fairly often with leftover, very ripe bananas. I usually freeze my old bananas until I have enough for a recipe or two. Just peel, break in half, and freeze in a plastic bag. To use, just thaw and add to mixing bowl. I have also used applesauce in place of the oil to make this low fat. It is not quite as moist, but the flavor is still just as good."
