Too many these days are trying to be healthy, so they end up dry and bland and boring, whereas banana bread should be moist and yummy and fun. I just made this, and it certainly tasted good, but maybe it's gone too far in the other direction - it's incredibly, naughtily, tooth-rottingly sweet. I used bananas so ripe that you wouldn't want to eat them, or if you did you couldn't anyway because they'd dissolve before you finished peeling them. This of course contributes to the sugar content ... but some similar recipes just use 1/3 cup! Anyway, I'd make this again, but I'd use waaaaay less sugar. By the way, I used one cup of white flour and 1/2 cup of whole wheat flour, which I think works well for this kind of recipe - you get a bit of virtue and wholewheat chewiness without feeling like you're eating sawdust.
