This recipe is from the current issue of Clean Eating Magazine. I made a few minor changes by eliminating the buttermilk and adding extra banana. I substituted lemon rind for orange rind because I forgot to buy an orange and I used one whole egg instead of two egg whites. I'm not afraid of egg yolks. They are good for you. Forget the high cholesterol hype.
In making this bread I learned I have a mild intolerance for walnuts. After eating several slices of the bread as well as a couple walnut ladden brownies baked by a co-worker, my tongue developed a weird tingley sensation. I will definately make this loaf again but next time, sans nuts.

Olive oil or butter to grease the baking pan
2 ripe bananas, mashed
