This recipe produced a good bread, but a little different than I expected. The honey almost overpowers the banana flavor (and my bananas were VERY ripe), but if you like honey (which I do), it's a nice change. The topping ingredients seem to be a little too much and I would scale them back next time. No matter how careful I was, half of the topping did fall off getting the loaf out of the pan and much of it cracks off while slicing the loaf. However, this recipe produces a nice high loaf with a lovely texture. Thanks.
