What do you do when the kids didn’t eat all of the bananas they asked you to get at the store last week? Easy, make some banana bread and get a few more days use out of that over ripe fruit.

1 tablespoon Baking Soda
3 ripe bananas, mashed

1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups flour
1/4 cup Walnuts, or Pecans (optional)

Add baking soda to milk and stir well. Next add the white vinegar to the milk and stir again. Add mixture to batter along with bananas, vanilla lemon juice and salt and mix will.
Add flour and beat until smooth. Remove bowl from mixer. At this time you may stir in the nuts, if you prefer.
