This is a Deeee-licious banana bread. Changes I made: used eggbeaters; added 1/2 tsp banana extract; omitted pecans. Made them into mini-muffins (made 48 @ 65 calories each -baked @ 300 deg. for 30 min.) The buttermilk flavor is not overpowering. My results were just right - not too dense, not too cakey. Caramel Pie, family says "This recipe is a KEEPER!" Thanks for sharing.

    Made this for my family over the weekend and it got rave reviews. My daughter even took it in to work for a coworker and she loved it!!! I was skeptical about the 1 1 /2 hours at 300 degrees but worked perfectly. A real keeper!!

    This is almost identical to my banana bread (except mine has 1 cup sugar and 6 tablespoons butter) from Williams Sonoma Cookbook. I agree that it's the best out there! Roxygirl in Colo.
