Go Bananas for Banana Bread

You go to the store, buy a delicious looking bunch of bananas, they are enjoyed one by one each morning, until there is 1 or 2 bananas left, which have started to brown, and now... they don't seem so appetizing. Sound like your house? That's usually what happens in my kitchen once a month. But don't throw those browned beauties away, the overripeness is what gives this banana bread it's amazing flavor.
