I just made the best banana bread that I've ever made in my life (and I've made a lot).

The only changes I made were to sub brown sugar for half the white sugar and I added some black walnuts. Roasting the bananas really enhanced the flavor and the bread is so moist. I'll never make it again without roasting the bananas first.

4. I has seen it's a few weeks ago on TV and decided to give it a try.

I made it's for the guys I work with and they loved it. Truth be told, I could serve sawdust with a little butter and sugar and they'd love it. They're so easy.

9. LOL - I know the type!

3. Sounds great. I've had roasted bananas and pan seared (peeled & sliced). Gives waffles a good twist.

5. I've put mashed banana in pancake batter before.

I'll have to try roasting it first and see how it works.

6. Lordy I wish I could get black walnuts.

Can't buy them here. I used to use them in banana bread and they do indeed make a good contribution.

7. These may be the last ones I get to use.

I received 3 quart size jars from a friend of my boss. She and her husband lived in the Ozark hills all of their lives on a farm. He did carpentry, she tended the large garden and took care of the farm. They are both gone now, but I still get her walnuts out of the freezer when I make something special. This is the last jar and although it's been over 10 years, they are still fresh and delicious. I think of her every time.

10. When I do not have black walnuts

I use English Walnuts roughly chopped and add Black Walnut Flavoring.
