I have been experimenting with different banana bread recipes on this site. This so far is my favorite. I made this using 5 small bananas and the flavor was excellent. My nieces and nephews devoured this in no time at all. I did add 1 teaspoon of cinnamon and 1/2 teaspoon of nutmeg. I will share this recipe with my friends. Give this one a try - you will like it!

I followed this recipe to the letter adding only chopped walnuts. It was wonderful. Not too dry, not too moist - like Goldilocks' porridge - "just right". I made 2 loaves at once - one in a pyrex glass loaf pan and the other was a teflon coated pan. The glass pan did a much better job. Would recommend a glass loaf pan over a teflon one.
