Banana Nut Bread

Banana bread has always been one of my favorite things to make, but somehow the bananas in my house are always gone before they have the opportunity to brown. Last week I picked up an extra bunch with this bread in mind, and while I was walking out of the farm stand this recipe was staring me in the face. I think it was fate.
