This is a great recipe, veggie Jen. I chose this recipe because it called for Bisquick baking mix instead of just plain flower, and I thought that sounded interesting. And the texture is positively wonderful, consistently light throughout (so many banana bread recipes I've tried don't bake evenly and have spots where it's more dense than in other parts). But it was a little too dry for our taste. I think I'd add a little more oil next time. Otherwise, this is a great banana bread recipe. Made for Spring 2014 Pick-A-Chef.
