Heat oven to 325F degrees. Spray smooth, dark coated bundt pan with high heat nonstick cooking spray.

In a small bowl, mash bananas and water together until semi-smooth, no big chunks.

In a Kitchen Aid mixer or large bowl, mix sugars and butter with an electric mixer. Add eggs until blended. Add mashed bananas mix; beat 30 seconds. Stir in remaining ingredients except nuts just until moistened; stir in nuts.

Pour into pan. Bake until wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Bake 50 minutes. Loosen sides of loaf from pan, invert pan onto a cake plate and allow to cool completely before slicing.
