Notes

Coffee: You want regular old brewed coffee…not being a coffee drinker, I find the easiest way is to pick up a cup of black coffee at the supermarket or deli. But if you are a coffee drinker, you are all set!

Bananas: You want them to be nice and ripe and mushy. You know, the kind that nobody is going to eat as a regular banana.

Walnuts: You can leave out the walnuts if you prefer…or swap in your favorite kind of chopped nuts instead.

Bonus Ingredient: If you want to add another layer of flavor, stir in a half cup or so of mini chocolate chips when you add the nuts (or even instead of the nuts, if you are not a nut kind of person).
