A bit labour-intensive -- you microwave the bananas and strain them to get juice, then reduce it down to a quarter-cup in a pot on the stove, which you then add back into the banana mush -- but it's sooooo good.
Is it worth the effort? I just toss the bananas in the mixer with everything else.
It does add additional moisture and sweetness to the banana bread, but the extra effort is one of the reasons I don't make this more often.
