  A lovely snack for any time of day is perfectly correct! I used walnuts and almonds as i didn't have pecans and this worked really well.

  This is a quick tasty recipe. Great for using over ripe bananas. I added some dried mixed fruit too. The lemon sugar drizzle adds a nice zing.

  This was so easy and so delicious! Missed out the nuts as I'm not keen on them. The lemon sugar topping was lovely.

  Quick easy and lovely. Didn't have any wholemeal flour so used 200 gms plain and 25 bran. Will try the wholemeal next time as I will be making it again. I always seem to have bananas to use up and it was good. Put plain chocolate chips in instead of the nuts which worked well but will try mixed dried fruit. It is a good basic easy banana bread recipe with endless variations.

  This is a great basic recipe that lends itself well to variations. It's very easy and quick to put together. I just bung it all in the food processor and add the nuts at the end. I haven't bothered with the lemon glaze yet, I didn't think it needed it. I use half the amount of sugar and add 50g of chopped dates and 1 tsp of cinnamon. It rises beautifully but needed 20 mins extra in my oven. I covered it with foil at the end to stop it getting too brown. I will definitely make this again and will experiment with different fruit/nut combinations. I think cranberries would be good to add a bit of sharpness.

  Lovely. Very moist. Didn't put in any nuts or the lemon topping. Just threw everything into the food processor and then into the oven. Very easy.

  I have always assumed that my small loaf tin was a 1lb/450g size, however when I made up this mixture there was too much for the tin and it spilled out all over the oven! Anyone else have this problem? Maybe my bananas were too big or my tin is a a non-standard size? Anyway finished cake seems fine, its cooling on the rack at the minute so havent tried it yet but the bits of cake mix that dropped off into the oven taste good!

  After my problem with too much cake mix for a 450g tin I made the recipe again and used 2 x 450g/1lb tins and there was plenty for 2 loaves. No one else seems to have commented on the quantity so maybe its just me! Anyway this recipe makes a lovely cake and now I have solved the problem of tin size I will definitely bake again.

  easy and delicious, I have already made it a few times as it's my boyfriend's favourite breakfast cake. It keeps for a week in a sealed container, as long as you put some kitchen paper to absorb the moister. Didn't add any lemon juice as i thought it was already perfect.

  I used Doves wheat free flour, left out the nuts & reduced the amount of sugar and it still came out great! Really easy.
