Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
We could not figure out why, but this is absolutely the best banana nut bread we have ever tasted.
The batter sits for 20 minutes before baking and is baked at a lower temperature for a longer period of
time, which may account for the end result of the greatest texture and taste. —Dawn and James Webster
