Banana-Nut Bread

"I've tried many banana bread recipes and decided that something was still missing from each one I tried. So, I've taken a recipe from an old country magazine and modified it just a smidgen... I've use this recipe for a long time after my modifications and have always enjoyed the end results. I hope you enjoy this as much as I have."
