Peel the bananas and chop them up for composting.

Make banana bread using 5 bananas, 2 large eggs, 1/2 cup melted butter, 1/2 cup buttermilk, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1 1/2 cups sugar, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour.

Place the bananas in a mixer and cream them with sugar and eggs at low speed.

Squeeze lemon juice into the mixture to substitute for buttermilk, straining out the seeds.

Add melted butter and mix for about 30-40 seconds.

Add salt and baking soda, then add 2 1/2 cups of flour and walnuts without mixing in between.

Mix until a thick batter forms.

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Prepare cupcake liners and a bundt pan by spraying them.

Pour the batter into the cupcake liners and bundt pan.

Bake the cupcakes for 15-18 minutes and the bundt for about 35 minutes, checking for doneness.

Let the baked goods sit in the pan for about 10 minutes before removing.
