Very nice bread recipe. I've made many variations of banana loaf breads and this one is a great recipe. It made 2 large loaves and I had leftovers but not enough for a small loaf. Took 1 hour 5 mins. to finish baking but worth the wait. Hit at my house! Made for Zaar Cookbook Tag May 2008

This recipe is great. I subsituted a package of french vanilla pudding, as I had no banana pudding, and only used 1 tsp. of vanilla instead of 2. This recipe made 2 large loaves, and it's a good idea not to cut the recipe in half as it yields such wonderful bread, you'll be glad you have that second loaf! The top comes out nice and crunchy, and the entire bread, including the end pieces, are moist and full of flavor. Bravo!
