In a food processor puree the bananas.

Add the brown sugar, and puree again.

Grate the zest from the lines and add to the dry mixture, then juice the limes and measure 1/2 cup of juice for the batter, reserving 2 Tablespoons for the glaze.

Add the 1/2 cup lime juice, egg and oil to the banana mixture and puree to mix. Stir the wet mixture into the dry mixture, then fold in the nuts.
