i have had some other banana bread recipes that i have really liked, but they all seemed to have things that i didn't just have in my cupboard. the thing that i love about this one is that it is moist, perfectly simple, oh so tasty & has nothing in it that you wouldn't just have. so let you bananas go brown & get a baking:)

4 large bananas, mashed
1/2 cup warm water
2 tsp. baking soda

in a small cup, dissolve soda into warm water & add to mixture. blend in bananas & nuts.
