I LOVE this recipe, I too was looking for an easy peasy banana bread and found this one in my search it has become a hands down keeper in my family. I however add pecans to mine because I like my fruit bread with nuts and nutella well what better topping will have to give that one a try.

Funny, I made this recipe when I saw it on Smitten Kitchen and while we were eating it I said to my husband “this would be really good with nutella” – unfortunately we didn’t have any on hand and it was late at night. Although we drove around (that’s how much I was craving it) we couldn’t find anywhere that was open and stocked nutella!

i baked banana bread/cake last night, trying out 2 new recipes. this one and another one that calls for molasses. This one is simpler yet a lot tastier.

I finished past midnight so I’m having my first slice now for breakfast (in the office). Yummy, yummy, Thanks!

Pity I didn’t get to read about the nutella until now, i just came back from the middle east where they are a lot cheaper, and brought home 2 jars!!! I’ll surely have banana bread and nutella for dessert tonight, that is if there is still any banana bread left when i get home

Very interesting! I’ve been making Mrs. Hockmeyerâ€™s banana bread for a year and a half now. I’m eating a piece as I write this post. Ymmmmm.

BUT … I was amused to read the reasons why you like it. Evidently you and I have totally different taste buds. I don’t like hazelnuts, and so spreading Nutella on banana bread would not be my cup of tea.

I *am* crazy about pecans, though.

So I always make Mrs. Hockmeyerâ€™s Banana Bread using 3/4 cup brown sugar, and crushed pecans! (On the occasions I serve it as a cake, I just bake it in a shallow pyrex dish — for more surface area — and top it with a butter-vanilla frosting.)

In my opinion, 3 bananas work best, by the way; 4 makes it imbalanced.

Oh, just as I was finishing this post, my husband just shouted down the hall: “That’s good banana bread, honey!”
