The Healthy Version of Going Bananas Bread

This is simple, fragrant and scrumptious. The crumb is dense and moist. It is really satisfying any time of day. Yummy! One added note ladies and gents, you can up the bananas to 2 1/2 c and cut the sugar by half or use some splenda if that's your thing. I play with the recipe each time I make it!
