  • 3 tablespoons chopped walnuts

  • Although a fork will work, a hand-held potato masher or potato ricer makes short work of mashing bananas. The best bananas for baking have at least some brown speckles on the skin.
  • Wheat germ has a high oil content. Store it in the refrigerator to prevent spoiling.
