This recipe is great, though the honey makes it a bit more expensive then some other options, it's very good (made this twice now, 5 loaves total).

I love this. I made some minor adjustments that I think made it taste soooooo good. I used cinnamon sugar butter by Land'O'Lakes instead and then incorporated macadamia nuts that were finely chopped. Really enhanced the flavor

I think this is the best banana bread. It freezes nicely too. I used whole wheat flour which makes it even healthier. I had company and pulled it out for breakfast they loved it! I will keep some handy at all times which is quite an honor in my house as I do a lot of baking.

I made this with two changes - I used almond extract and I added white chocolate chips. I will make this again. The wheat flour adds an extra layer of flavor besides being a bit healthier.
