I used pineapple instead of cherries and added more coconut. I think I might try macadamias instead of walnuts next time. This was superb!

Wow. This is fantastic. Everyone is nicely urging me to make another loaf. I didn't have almond extract, so I used coconut (1/4 tsp) and vanilla (1/4 tsp) instead, which gave it a more coconutty flavor. Also, used chocolate chips instead of cherries.

Great bread but the first time I baked it it was a bit dry so I added 1/2 cup of applesauce the next time and that made it perfect. So consider adding extra moisture.

This recipe is delicious. I used coconut extract instead and omitted the maraschino cherries. Make sure to only fold in the dry ingredients with the wet and NOT overmix. It turned out very moist and flavorful. My family loved it. We will definitely make this again! Thanks for the recipe!

I love this bread. The almond extract+the coconut adds such a sophisticated gourmet flavor to this banana bread. I left out the cherries. Will definitely make again, great texture, great taste. Thanks Carol. :)

Tastes just like a bread that my husband loved from a bakery. Excellent recipe! I'll be using this one for guests.

Great banana bread recipe, although I think I may use more coconut next time. I omitted the cherries and walnuts, and my husband and I both liked it. Thank you.

I really like the moisture of this loaf, usually banana loaf is very dry.

Very delicious! I added extra cherries and used pecans instead of walnuts. The extract makes it taste more like cake than bread- next time I may also try coconut flavor like the other reviewer.

Too many ingredients made a bit too dense. Had a great flavor but outside was dry and inside moist and heavy. Perhaps because I beat final ingredients in with mixer instead of folding them in. Always tend to think I did something wrong when a recipe receives great reviews and I wasn't that impressed. Otherwise Carol keep up the good work.

Most tasty! I didn't have almond extract so I used Vanilla and I omtted the cherries. Watch the time though, mine started to burn by 50 minutes. I will make this one again!

This is an AWESOME loaf. Nice to have a banana loaf that's a bit different. My husband is not big on marachino cherries so I left them out. It still tasted GREAT!
