Banana Bread
If your bananas are getting too ripe to eat and you don’t have time to make banana bread in the near future, throw the bananas in the freezer. Then, when you have time to make the banana bread, thaw them in the microwave and proceed as you would with a fresh banana.

Instructions
All at once, add the whole wheat flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Then blend into the banana mixture on low speed just until moistened. Stir in the chopped walnuts if desired.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan(s) and bake at 350 degrees until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and are nicely browned on top. About an hour for the large loaf or 45 minutes for the two small ones. Cool for 5 minutes before removing from the pan, then cool completely on a rack before slicing.
This banana bread is made with whole wheat flour. Any flour will do, but I like to use “white whole wheat flour” milled from white wheat as opposed to red for sweet baked goods. It is also sometimes labeled “whole wheat pastry flour”. It has a milder flavor than the whole wheat flour milled from red wheat.
