A REAL Winner! The only thing I added is the streusel topping for the WOW factor! I also sifted the flour 3X to make my loaf softer.

This was a wonderful way to use up some overripe bananas and extra walnuts! I used sugar, and also oil instead of the margarine because I realized I didn't have any margarine... and soy milk plus vinegar for the buttermilk. I have never even heard of banana extract, so I didn't have any, but nobody seemed to mind! I was using unshelled walnuts, and after shelling them I had little patience to chop them into small pieces... and I forgot to toast them, but it all worked out fine. I took some into the office and everyone loved them. Thanks for postin!
