Many of the girls who frequent the cooking message board I visit can't wait for their bananas to turn mushy for this very reason - banana bread! I used a recipe from that board this time around (thanks to the nestie who shared it - I can't remember who it was!), and it is delicious. Very tasty, and a bit sweet (you probably could cut the sugar a little, I may try this again with whole wheat flour and less sugar to make it a little more figure friendly;). There also is a recipe in this month's Cooking Light that I'd love to try - it has coconut inside and on top and a lime glaze that soaks in while the bread sits. yum!
Banana Bread
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup white sugar
1 egg
5 tablespoons milk
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup margarine
1 cup mashed bananas
1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
Sift together flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
In a large bowl, cream sugar and butter or margarine. Beat the egg slightly, and mix into the creamed mixture with the bananas. Mix in sifted ingredients until just combined. Stir in milk and nuts. Spread batter into one greased and floured 9x5 inch loaf pan.
Bake at 350 degrees until top is brown and cracks along the top, about 40 minutes.

This recipe also recommended adding vanilla and cinammon - I'm out of both!! Bad baker!
