Yummy Yummy! My family loved this banana bread. I didn't have mace so I substituted cardamon 1/4 tsp and upped the cinnamon to 1/2 tsp and ginger to 1/4 tsp just to make it spicier but the texture was great and moist so I would not change anything else. You can also really taste the sweet butter used in this recipe. Thanks!!
