Cassie and I made this banana bread from her school reader, where a boy and his grandmother made it.  We did not use the nuts in the recipe because her daddy gets hives from the nuts and her school is nut free and she wanted to take some to school for everyone in her class.  I also found that I needed to add about half a cup of water to the mix.  It was too thick to mix.  Had our bananas been riper it may have made a bit of difference to that.  Overall, a good very banana full bread!
