DELICIOUS BANANA NUT BREAD

Over the years I have made banana bread by many different recipes. (I always have a couple of bananas that ripen too much before we eat them and I hate to toss them). Several months ago my daughter, Amy, told me that she found a recipe that was the best banana bread she had ever tasted. I thought to myself that most banana bread recipes always taste the same. She went on and on about how moist this is the day after you bake it. I happened to be at her house once a couple of days after she baked a loaf and this was one time she absolutely told the truth. Today was the first day that I had over-ripe bananas and the chance to make it myself. Again, she told me that it would be better the next day. However.....my husband asked me if he could cut it right after I dumped it out of the pan. I said, "Sure, AFTER I make a picture." He looked at me kinda strange but then knew exactly why! Here's the recipe. I hope you enjoy it.
