Banana, Honey and Walnut Tea Loaf Recipe

You know when you get some over ripe bananas left in your fruit bowl and you don't want them to go to waste? They would be perfect for this recipe, the riper the bananas the better.
I love a nice tea loaf that is packed with flavour, but the added chopped walnuts also add nice crunch to this loaf, giving it that little bit extra.
Enjoy it on a Sunday evening with a nice cup of tea!
