Nutty Bread made by a nutty baker

So I am sure the 2 of you are wondering what good a blog is if I never write it huh?

So today I made Banana Nut Bread.  Partially because I love it and partially to drive my boyfriend crazy because he has to wait a whole hour and a half to eat it.

I have flipped through several recipes and all of them call for similar things, some get crazy and call for nutmeg or cinnamon but you eventually come back to the bananas (which they never tell you should be way past ripe), a handful of nuts, some flour and some butter, and if your lucky some sugar. 

So my question is which is the traditional recipe?  A bunch of spices, with nuts, or just a bread that was sweetened with bananas?
