The Comments

As you can see from the first photo we were into this before I remembered to take a photo.

It was cooked in 55 minutes so I took it out of the oven earlier than the 60 suggested.

The brown sugar sprinkled on the top gave a lovely crunch.

The batter was very stiff and I wondered if it could do with a half cup of milk or yoghurt.

This is a delicious banana loaf and if my investigations had to stop here I would be pleased with this recipe. However I'm not sure I could stop myself giving it a little tweak, as per the above point.

It was very tasty with and without butter.

It is quite firm, definitely a loaf or a bread in texture.

It was nice toasted but I didn't think this improved anything.

The Score

7 ½ /10

I'm a bit hesitant to give it an eight as there are still a few more to go.

To be 'good', future banana breads will be referenced to this loaf.
