Schweet!
I'll take a slice!
Did you use a tin pan or a clay pan?

Looks good i love it warmed smothered in butter!!! MMmmmmm......
Margarine is death! - ne'r use it! Leading cause of heart attack and stroke since the 1960's (on top of HFCS)
i used a tin pan, i'm not that bad [censored] to use clay.
here is the recipe:
# 2 cups all-purpose flour
# 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
# 1/2 teaspoon salt
# 4 overripe bananas
# 3/4 cup sugar
# 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
# 2 large eggs
# 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
# 1/2 cup walnuts, roughly chopped

No. What you are thinking of is that in years past, hard stick margarine used significant amounts of transfats. In retrospect, it's debatable whether people who switched from butter to stick margarine saw an improvement in cardiovascular risk.
I'm not sure if any of the ongoing large cohort studies, like the Nurses Health Study or Physicians Health study have the data to say for sure.
However, tub margarines have never contained very much (if any) transfats. And of course, today, transfats have been either completely eliminated, or greatly reduced in stick margarine products. And almost no tub product today contains transfats.
In fact, as long as the calories don't cause you to become overweight, modern tub margarines are quite beneficial due to the fact that they contain "good" fats (polyunsaturated and monounsaturated) which reduce (bad) LDL levels. The ones containing significant amounts of monounsaturated fats (as in canola and olive oil) can increase (beneficial) HDL levels, in addition.

Forget the margarine/butter issue. Them there bananas have potassium in them. 0.0117% of that potassium is K40, which is radioactive.
Eat bananas and die a horrible death!

The issue is complex. On the one hand, the gamma rays from the bananas should help keep the bread sterile. On the other, the consumer of the bread runs the risk of cellular damage and genetic mutations from the ionizing radiation.
But more insidious is the possible interaction between the banana-radiation and the fats in the margarine. Ionizing radiation can directly induce oxidation of the fats. Oxidative load is a known to relate directly to cardiovascular disease. Adding a small amount of mixed tocopherols to the recipe should help to alleviate that particular danger.

you forgot the effects of gamma rays on your nuts!
Of course I meant walnuts!

Of course you did. Any other interpretation would be obscene. And obscenity is not allowed in the BITOG romper-room.
Although it might not be a bad idea to have a sperm sample frozen prior to enjoying a slice of that rather delicious looking banana bread. ;-)
