Intense banana goodness! This recipe calls for 1/3C butter and 1 egg - when most banana bread recipes seem to call for 1/2 C butter and 2 eggs. But you won't miss that extra fat. My loaf turned out very moist (I used 4 bananas, the recipe calls for 3 or 4) and with amazing flavor. I liked the addition of nutmeg and cloves, in addition to the cinnamon, it gave a great flavor and cinnamon was NOT the predominant note. Finally, you jack this recipe up with 1T bourbon, I used wild turkey.
Suggested baking time is 50 minutes. Mine baked for 60, and its slightly underdone.
By the way, I usually want walnuts in my banana bread, but this is so good, I didn't even miss them.
