3 very ripe large bananas
2 eggs
1/2 c. butter
1 1/2 tbsp. buttermilk OR sour cream
1 tsp. fresh lemon juice
1 c. sugar
2 c. all purpose flour
1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1 c. chopped walnuts or pecans

Place bananas, eggs, butter, buttermilk or sour cream, lemon juice and sugar in large mixing bowl. Mix until fairly smooth. Mix together flour, baking powder and baking soda. Pour banana mixture over flour mixture and stir until flour is moistened. Stir in nuts. Place into greased 9 1/2 x 4 1/2 inch bread loaf pan or into two 3 1/2 x 7 1/2 inch nut bread pans. Bake at 350 degree for 55 to 65 minutes, or until bread tests done when a pick is inserted in the center. Allow to cool 5 minutes in pan, then turn onto wire racks. Banana nut bread freezes well and can be sliced while frozen. Preparation time: 20 minutes.
