Made this today and it came out perfect!!! Moist, flavorful and yummy! I had to sub in walnuts for the pecans, but even still very good. I also made a loaf pan and a tin of muffins, and so far I've tried a muffin and its delicious! The streusel topping really adds a lot to it and I used 5 bananas instead of 4 and less walnuts. Thanks for posting!!!

Two words... YUMMM-MMYY! This bread was awesome and I will be making it for a long time to come! Thank You! (I used walnuts instead of pecans) My husband loves it too! Once he found out that I need four bananas to make this bread and every since he has been letting four bananas ripen on the counter when he is ready for more bread.
