This is *excellent* banana bread! It is moist w/just the right level of banana flavor & sweetness. My only issue here was the yield as a loaf pan size was not included & a yield of 2-4 loaves seemed like a wide variant to me, esp since I have only 1 loaf pan. BUT then I remembered I had 4 8x4x2.5 in alum loaf pans, decided to make a half recipe using them & got 2 perfect loaves. This makes actual yield 2 loaves using a std size 9x5 loaf pan, 18 servings (assuming 1-in slices) at 255 cal/serving & a more realistic view of the nutritional data (if I have done the math correctly). Cooking time was also not included, but your note saying *pulls away from sides of pan when done* was right on & I tested w/a wooden skewer just to be sure. This is prob more info than you wanted, but I wanted to be sure I was taking a right view of the recipe for the future. I will have all this worked out & be ready to add a 5th * for this yummy recipe when that happens. Thx for sharing it w/us.

I live in Chattanooga with my daughter. I work at a used bookstore, and I love to read pretty much everything, especially cookbooks. Some of my favorite cookbooks are those of Nigel Slater, Barbara Kafka, Thomas Keller, and Nigella Lawson, plus the Moosewood series. I think perhaps my biggest pet peeve is food snobbery, and indeed snobbery in general. I love trying new things so much that I rarely make the same dish twice.
Oh, a big thank you to all who have reviewed my stuff recently. I am currently without premium membership and unable to tell you so on an individual basis.
