This is one of the 8 bread recipes I made to give as gifts to the members of my church. It is delicious and easy. Thanks for the recipe.

Wonderful and moist, sweet but not sticky. Everyone in my home loves this recipe, and it's very easy to make. I leave out the nuts, and if making a half-batch (1 loaf) I use 2 eggs, which works well.

I used half wheat flour. cut sugar to 1 3/4 cup, increased salt to 3/4 tsp. Omitted nuts, added 1/4 cup coconut..Made 4 mini loaves and 6 muffins. Very mosit and tasty...

This is very similar to my mom's tropical quick bread, to which she adds coconut. I added 1 t. dried orange peel, 1/2 t. each ginger and nutmeg. This bread really needs one day wrapped before slicing to mature and blend flavors.

A nice variation on banana bread. I used 4 large bananas and substituted Smucker's Healthy Bake for half the oil and reduced the pecans to just over a cup. I toasted the pecans before adding them. Very good flavor and texture.
