Submitted by Secret Agent

"This recipe can be found in lots of cookbooks and all over the internet so why are people always asking for my DH's recipe? I think it's his technique, so here ya go! Try it and I hope you like it. UPDATE: It is very important to the success of this recipe to freeze your overly ripened bananas and then defrost them and bring to room temperature before mixing. If you use under-ripened bananas you will not get a nicely crowned loaf and it will not be sweet enough."
