"This Sh** is Bananas, B-A-N-A-N-A-S"

I made this yesterday for my dad to take to my Aunt. I love this recipe & it is so super easy. I did change it up though yesterday & added chopped Macadamia Nuts. I LOVE Macadamias! If I could i'd add them to all kinds of things. When I was in Hawaii w/my parents on the Big Island I made them go to the Mauna Loa Macadamia Nut Farm. I'm also totally in love with Pistachio's. Which reminds me of "Sugar Dates, Sugar Dates & Figs. Sugar Dates & Pistachios!" Does anyone know what that's from??? It's a total High School joke. It's from Aladdin. Anywho, here's the recipe. I follow it pretty well, except I usually use 5-6 bananas & I leave them in really big chunks, so when you mix them it doesn't just turn to mush. They get smaller but they don't disappear & I like my bread w/a lot of texture. Like my carrot cake, which i'll post sometime, it's super chunky. Hope you try this out. Also, it says it makes 1 loaf but really it makes 2.
