This makes a big loaf! It had a nice banana flavour. I added some chopped walnuts and some flax seed. Next time I would reduce the amount of sugar to maybe half or 3/4 cup as I found it a little on the sweet side. Also, I had to bake it about 10 minutes longer than stated to get the middle fully cooked. Overall very nice recipe which I will probably make again.

Delicious with a great banana flavour. I used brown sugar instead of white, added 2 tsp of baking powder (to get a more cakelike texture) and baked it in a bundt pan (took about 40 minutes). I didn't add any nuts as that is our preference (it also helps to keep the calories down). I served it warm topped with light cool whip and sprinkled with cinnamon. Lovely!
