Banana Bread

Anyone have a really good banana bread recipe? I have an awesome pumpkin bread one that I make all the time, but we need a change. I haven't made banana bread in years. I looked online but there are millions of recipes and I didn't know which to choose.

Just make sure that you buy bananas and not plantains!! I bought what I thought were overripe bananas but nope! It was pretty interesting to say the least!
