Banana, Pecan and buckwheat loaf

My husband has a not very secret guilty habit: he can never pass by a good deal in the market! Sometimes it's a good thing - in summer no one complains about a glut of strawberries at home - but other times it's not - vast quantities of bananas that need eating by yesterday can be (to put it nicely) a burden. This recipe is useful when you find yourself with over-ripe bananas that no-one wants to eat because- well - we are all a bit fussy that way.
