Notes
1. I have added walnuts and choco chips this time. You could add other nuts like almonds, raisins etc. or a combination of them.
2. You could also use dates/date syrup/jaggery in place of sugar. And always adjust sugar as per your taste. It will vary depending upon how sweet the bananas are.
3. You can use the same batter to make banana nut muffins. Your baking time then will reduce.
