“The bread was fantastic thank you! I added walnut extract in place of nuts or vanilla, because walnuts go very well with banana. I added unsweetened coconut and some mini chocolate chips as well, and a tablespoon of black strap molasses along with a quarter” — a cook, 5.0★
“Awesome recipe . . . My go to! I add one cup chocolate chips so I reduce the sugar just a little - I use 3/8 cup white sugar & 3/8 cup brown sugar. Brown sugar gives the loaf a molasses taste (if you like that) Comes out perfect!” — a cook, 5.0★
