Great recipe! I added 1/4c of flax seed meal. Next time I will increase the banana and the optional ingredients... I might add some nutmeg too. Thank you for posting! -
Very good! I used turbinato sugar instead of brown because that is what I had on hand. I think perhaps I'll use a little more banana to make it more moist next time. I added raisins and it was a nice sweet touch. A delicious recipe. I will make again. -

This is a gastronomic taste sensation for the senses, a wonderful and very satisfying banana bread that is not to sweet and I thoroughly enjoyed. I followed the recipe as written and simply substituted splenda brown sugar blend and eggbeaters to account for a strict cardiac diet. I also used Whole Wheat Graham Flour. I chose to use sliced almonds for the nuts and raisins and this will become my new recipe for banana bread. Thanks for sharing! -
This is definitely not like any other banana bread I've tasted, but what the hey ~ New experiences, new delights, & THIE BREAD IS CERTAINLY A DELIGHTMENT! I included all the ingredients & thoroughly enjoyed the addition of the nuts & fruits, as well as the use here of whole wheat flour! Will definitely make this one again!

Currently I am a student... in waiting... if your wondering what i mean by that, well long story short, I can't start college until the fall semester. I will be doing some gen eds at Mesa Community College for two semesters and then moving on to wonderful ASU to study Industrial Design. I can't wait!
Since I am jobless right now I cook allllll day. I probably sound like a looser but I enjoy trying out new recipes.
