My house always seems to have fruit that no one ever eats. Bananas slowly go bad while sitting in the corner of the counter. This time, since I saw the ripe bananas before they went bad, I took the opportunity to make some Banana Walnut Bread. Maybe this will be a year of breakfast for The Classy Cookies since that seems to be what I am making most often….

Bananas are a great way to substitute eggs. Instead of using one banana and one egg like I usually do, I chose to substitute the egg entirely and it turned out perfect! You can’t even tell the difference! This is a great recipe to make on the weekends for breakfast! It tastes so yummy when warm from the oven!

5. Bake at 350 degrees for 40-50 minutes. After about 40 minutes, try checking for doneness by inserting a toothpick in the center. If it comes out clean, remove from oven. If it’s not clean, continue to bake checking every 5 minutes or so until done.
