This is really yummy, very moist. I sprinkled some granola on top before baking. And the baking did take a little longer.

Had to add more liquid to make batter pourable, used splenda instead of sugar. Good flavor.

Good Flavor, very moist. Agree completly with SaraFish. Cook at least 50 min.

This is very good! The batter comes out somewhat thick, so I was skeptical about it turning out but the texture is fine. The bread itself is not very sweet or banana-y so it's yummy when you get a strawberry bite. :) I doubled the nuts, added a teaspoon of vanilla and I also sprinkled the top of the loaves with sugar for nice sweet crunch on top. I did have to cook it about 10-12 minutes longer than the recipe said to. It is somewhat hard to slice while warm, it's easier to cut after it has been refrigerated. Thanks for a great recipe!

salt was a bit too much. I may switch to a 1/4 tsp. Otherwise the flavor is great
