I have used this recipe for years and love it. It is especially good when you add 1 more banana. You can also double the recipe and bake it as a cake for the same time in a 9x13 pan or for @10 mins. longer in a bundt pan.

I took the advice of others on the comments/reviews: added half brown suger and half white sugar, added a lil more banana, and added more nuts (walnuts, actually). Turned out wonderful. Next time I have banana's going bad, I'll use this same recipe, having all the ingrediants in a kitchen on a regular basis. Wonderful. Will make again!

Great receipe. I used 1/2 cup white sugar and 1/2 brown sugar makes it a little richer.
