This is really good, I have made a lot of banana breads and have enjoyed them all..but this one is definitely the best..I'm thinking it's the brown sugar that just gives the flavour boost. Looks lovely too..a nice caramel colour. Great recipe.

The flavor is great, but very dry.

It was very good, but not moist. I don't know why?

Soooo good!! I added chocolate chips because I'm taking them camping and wanted the kids to devour them for extra energy. I made them into little muffin bites. FANTASTIC! Thank you.

I am a barbeque guy and almost never bake anything...pretty much a n00b at this. Followed the recipe carefully...maybe a few extra pecans:-).....son:-) this came out really well. My wife who is a really good baker was impressed. I was stunned that it was edible LOL! I don't even much care for Banana Bread...just tired of throwing bananas out! This one will work for me...will for sure make again.
