Great tasting banana bread. I made 1/3 if the recipe for one loaf but the volume wasn't enough for a good sized loaf. It would have taken 2/3 of the full recipe to make a single good sized 8x4. That said this has a perfect tender flaky crust and a lovely moist, tender inside. As I was using a glass pan I lowered the temp to 325 and that was well baked @ 40 mins. Used Splenda brown blend for the sugar.

Moist, sweet, full-flavored banana bread. Made half with chocolate chips and half without. When it got dark on top before setting up inside, I reduced the oven temp a bit but the baking time ended up being just right. Made for PAC.

Great banana bread and chocolate chips (!!??) make it even better. Enjoyed 1 loaf and stored 2 in the freezer for future treats. Thanks for sharing Sarah. Made for Pick A Chef Spring 2011.
