This is wonderful base recipe for quick bread. It does make a rather small loaf (I started out with the original amounts to test it, though I wish I'd doubled it!), and I highly recommend add-ins: flax seed, sunflower seeds, any sort of fruit or spice you could think of...The bread itself is delicious with butter or jam, but adding spices or fruits would make it a great sweet bread, too!

like other reviewers, i added a bit to this recipe--extra banana, some walnuts, and some vanilla. i made mini-loaves instead of one big one, and they came out perfectly. very moist, just sweet enough, and plenty of banana flavor. [i also like that this recipe doesn't call for oil.]

i adore this recipe--i bake these bars at least once a week, and it's always different (and always gobbled up!). sometimes i add cranberries and sunflower seeds (that's a favorite), or flax seed and blueberries. it's always turned out wonderfully. using the original recipe as a guideline, you can experiment to your heart's content!
