Healthy Banana Bread

I found this recipe in a Taste of Home magazine.  It is really moist and sweet, but there actually isn't much sugar in it! It also has healthy bran, flax, and walnuts in it.  We like it for breakfast with some peanut butter on top or just plain for a snack.  You can freeze your over ripe bananas so you have them ready when you want to make some bread.
