This is very moist banana bread. I was taking this to a Christmas brunch and wanted something festive, so I made the following modifications. I added a jar of marachino cherries that I halved, and a can of pineapple tidbits that I squeezed most of the juice out of. I also added roasted pistachios, but I won't do that again; they turned soft. I also used fat-free sour cream and it worked just fine. This took a long time to bake -- about 1-1/2 hours, and it didn't rise much (i.e., it didn't have a domed top). To serve, I sliced the loaf down the center length-wise, then turned to slice cross-wise. This made nice individual pieces that I put on a Christmas tree-shaped tray. I decorated with maraschino cherries to look like ornaments and put a star-shaped cookie on top. It was colorful and very tasty. My family can't wait for me to make this again. Thanks Esther!
