I reduced the sugar to 1 cup and I'm glad I did. I omitted the nuts. I chose to do it in only 1 loaf pan. It seemed to fit so I tried. It gave me a nice big banana bread. Of course, I had to bake it for 1 hour and 15 minutes. But it's perfect. I wouldn't do it in 2 pans. The texture is great and moist. Thanks Sharlene :) Made for Bargain Basement tag game

I live in the San Francisco area and love it here. I discovered Recipezaar (then Food.com..Genius Kitchen) in 2001 and have been so happy to have my favorite recipes stored safely here. I am mother to 7 and grandmother to 7.
I love to knit, smock, sew, etc., but my favorite hobby of the moment is traditional rug hooking. This is a sample of what I do.? It's called "November".? I dyed most of the wool myself. It is made from wool flannel, cut into strips a little less than 1/4" and then worked into a linen backing. This is my 3rd rug.
