For the best flavor, use very ripe bananas – the kind that are starting to get spotty. They're sweeter and easier to mash. To prevent the nuts from sinking to the bottom of the bread, toss them with a tablespoon or two of flour before adding them to the batter. If the top of the bread starts to brown too quickly, tent it loosely with aluminum foil during the last 15-20 minutes of baking. This bread is even better the next day, as the flavors have had time to meld. Store the cooled bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
