The addition of ground nuts sounded appealing enough to get me to stray from my own favorite banana bread recipe! Mine also has three eggs, so I knew I'd love the texture of yours. This rose up very high and I'm glad I tested the middle with a long knife. Mine baked in about an hour (my bananas were on the smaller side so I think it added to the quicker baking time). This was a very good banana bread and very easy to slice. The ground nuts added to the texture,too. I used the leftovers in my Banana Bread French recipe (posted). Roxygirl
