This is our go to recipe for both banana and pumpkin bread (where I substitute pumpkin puree for the bananas). I appreciate that it doesn't call for eggs since my daughter is allergic to them. I think of the Big Bird recipe as a starting point. I usually use granulated sugar (3/4 c.) Plus a bit of liquid for the banana bread. For the pumpkin muffins, I add cinnamon and sometimes nutmeg.

I liked the idea of an egg less banana bread and the use of honey. It looked great when it came out of the oven. However, it fell flat a few minutes after that and we were left with an almost raw bread. That was after baking it for nearly 15 more minutes and checking it with a toothpick. I also thought the honey flavor was a bit too strong.
