OMG, this is so amazingly lovely to eat. I just took it out of the oven and had some while it was steamy, and I'm sure glad I did. If it's even better tomorrow, I'm going to declare this the best thing I ever baked.

This was a great tasting bread, tho I should have baked for a little longer. I did add about 5 minutes to the 1 hour bake time, and 15 minutes would probably have been right. I love banana and macadamia nut ANYTHING, and this fits the bill. I'll keep it close, for when the pang of needing a nut bread strikes! Thanks for sharing, Rita~.

I made this recipe almost exactly as written and it was delightful!. The only variance I made was that I did not pack the brown sugar, just measured loosely. It turned out sweet enough with 2 cups of ripe bananas, which was 5 average sized bananas. I will definitely make it again!

This couldn't be easier and it's SO DECADENT. I could eat this every day, and the flavors take me back to my honeymoon in Maui. Thanks so much for posting! One tip - using your hands, break apart any hard lumps in the brown sugar before mixing with the butter. Otherwise you'll have lumps of it in your bread.
