Banana Craisin Walnut Bread

After the Thanksgiving weekend, I was still in the mood to bake something, but I couldn't handle a pile of dirty dishes. We had some beautiful black bananas hidden in the freezer, so I threw together a one bowl banana bread. Well...technically two if you consider the loaf pan it was baked in. Either way, it was minimal mess.
This was sort of a banana bread experiment, I combined numerous recipes. It sunk a little in the center, and the outside browned a bit more than I would have liked, but it was nothing a little melted chocolate couldn't fix. All in all, I think it came out alright, but it could definitely use some improvements.
