I made this on Sunday and we think it's yummy! I had this saved in MC and didn't even know it was a CL recipe until I did a search at Google. I added cinnamon to the topping. For breakfast I've been warming up a slice in the microwave and sprinkling with Penzey's China Cassia cinnamon. Yum! Be careful removing it from the pan because some of the topping came off. Next time I'll pat it down on top of the batter before I bake it.

Thanks for the review, Linda. This sounds tasty and not too much trouble to make. I loved the CL Jamaican Banana Bread but thought it was a lot of measuring for a "quick" bread so I'll be trying this one.

Also, thanks to those who posted on another banana bread thread recently about freezing ripe bananas. I now have a stash in my freezer so I can make banana bread any time I please! http://www.cookinglight.com/bbs/smile.gif
