Yum Yum. Hubby was sneaking bites before they were done. The dough is VERY sticky! I didn't know if I should knead much flour in, so kinda flopped the loaves on the cookie sheets. I didn't make them as crunchy as regular biscotti (preference), and also skipped the nuts (allergies)... but this will certainly be a banana-user-upper often in our house! Thanks!
