jagdogger's tasting notes:

"It is tasty. Moist, Rich. Light, Dense, Banana-y

After making the bread, I had to slightly tweak it because:

• I floured the pan after buttering it up and it got nice and perfectly brown edges when the top was properly browned
• Since it was moist as it was, there was no need to add more moisture through the optional milk
• Changing the 45-minute toothpick time to 50 minutes since it was perfectly done at exactly 1 hour
• I do remember having my original recipe having 4 bananas
• Make the banana layer on the bottom optional

The way this recipe stands, there are dozens of ways one would be able to make it. The topping is optional or the bread is optional because one could make a toppingless banana bread or use the topping for something else in general."
