  My friend is training for a marathon so i make this for her regularly as running fuel. Try 100g of chopped dark chocolate instead of nuts and i add 100g of butter for extra moistness. A fool-proof loaf.

  I didn't put as many bananas as the recipe indicated and the bread wasn't very moist. Easy to prepare and nice flavour.

  This was very easy and quick to make. Substituted the pecan nuts with walnuts and used self raising wholemeal flower instead of the mix. The loaf turned out very moist and was incredibly moorish.

  This is such a simple and absolutely delicious recipe. I'm not 100% keen on the pecans but they do add an extra crunch and flavour. I had 5 bananas to use so increased all the other ingredients (except the eggs) by 1.2 (yes, my maths is terrible) and it resulted in a very good sized loaf that I've personally eaten the majority of. Lol.

  I absolutely adore this recipe! Sometimes for a treat I will up the quantity of bananas - this will make the loaf a little more stodgy and cake-like, but all the more yummy:)

  Moist loaf which keeps well for a few days. Found half pecans too big - found smaller pieces less cumbersome. Have made a few times now and come out well each time (and I'm not a baker!)

  this was so simple to make and you can vary it so much. I left out the nuts and didnt bother with the topping. I also didnt have wholemeal flour so just used all white flour. It is so moreish and doesn't last a minute in my house ! Dead easy and a great way to use up bananas

  Really good texture and taste. I used walnuts instead of pecans which worked well. I used a 2lb loaf tin and it turned out fine!!

  Have just made this cake for the second time. Really nice flavour. I made it both times in a round 8 inch tin. I also added a couple of drops of milk to improve the texture.

  I loved it! It was easy to make! I left out the nuts but added some cocoa powder to make the taste a little chocolate-like and it turned out great.

  Made this quite a few times I leave out the nuts having very small children and it's lovely. I add 1tsp cinnamon and I turn the oven down to approx 150 oC for last 10 mins or so as the top can sometimes start to burn
