It could be the banana seeds I have had the problem with the banana seeds settling at the bottom of the pan and it does have a gritty taste to it. So I now seed my banana's before I mash them the grit is gone.
To seed the banana peel it slice it in half length wise then slice in half lengthwise again you should have 4 long triangle shapes (funny triangle but a triangle) run your knife at a 45% angle along the seeds.
It is the only thing I have found to keep the seeds from settling at the bottom.
Hope it helps!

So, let's get this straight, is it you who makes the banana bread or your good lady wife?
I suspect that your problem lies in the fact that you/her are making the stuff from scratch and not bananas.

It sounds like maybe your oven is too hot. Try adjusting the temperature, because it sounds as if the underside if your loaf is cooking for too long and drying out. All ovens are different and you might not necessarily need yours as high as the recipes states

It sounds like the oven may be the wrong temperature, perhaps?
Here's a good one with walnuts in - very delicious:
