Favorite Banana Bread

I was looking for new banana bread recipes and this one caught my eye. The orange zest seemed like a nice touch. I modified it somewhat by starting with the wet ingredients and then adding the dry (which I didn't bother to sift). I also added 1 tsp. of vanilla and 3/4 cup coarsely chopped walnuts. I sprayed the pan with cooking spray and coated it with a fine layer of sugar. I'm eating a slice now, warm from the oven, and it is fantastic. Moist, not too heavy, with a wonderful flavor. I laughed at the yield of three servings, but I know I could easily eat a third of a loaf!
