This should really be a 4 1/2 stars. I loved this bread but my husband seemed to think it needed a bit of "something" (man thing, apparently). I might want to try either a little more vanilla or add a bit of cinnamon or nutmeg - not real sure. Of course, hubby suggested adding raisins but again, I loved it! Made for PAC 09

Great Banana Bread! I love it and my 1 year old daughter loved it too. I took it out after 50 minutes though and it was not done and stuck it in for another 15 - 20. That seemed to do the trick. Flavor was very good and it was very moist. I did omit the nuts because of my daughter, but I imagine it would be very good with them :-) Thanks for the good recipe!
