I had some really ripe bananas yesterday so I decided to make a batch of the apple nut bread recipe but ommitted the nuts and added banana to it! YUM, just wanted to share this other variation!:thumbup::D
 
I'm so glad to hear your recommendation. By accident I ordered the Beer Bread instead of the Pizza Mix, and now I have an acceptable way to use the beer bread mix. I have
only used it once as the package directs, and was not too excited by the results. I have over ripe bananas all too often, and them sounds like the best of two worlds, to use them as well as the Beer Bread mix.
 
That sounds delicious! I love finding new ways to use up ripe bananas. I'll have to try adding them to my apple nut bread recipe next time. Thanks for sharing! :thumbup:
