This was probably the best banana nut bread I have ever had. I followed the recipe almost exactly, leaving out the cinnamon. My bag of chopped pecans was 2 cups so I just used the whole bag. One technique I used which was quite effective was instead of butter and flour in the pan I cut a piece of parchment paper and just sprayed it with a bit of oil. I cut the piece longer so that the edges of it hung over the pan. Think of it as a sling. When done I was able to just lift the loaf with no worry of it sticking to the pan. Like many other reviews I found that I had to add on a good 10 - 15 minutes cooking time before the toothpick came out clean. This was fairly EZ to make. This recipe hits all the marks for flavor, texture and moistness. I recommend it with enthusiasm!
