Used banana flavoring instead of vanilla and used mini-chocolate chips and put into the batter. Made one loaf plus 6 muffins... was good the first day; but much bretter the 2nd! Also, did what a few others suggested and put the majority of the topping between the layers and covered the top and still had some left over.

I wonder if I did something wrong since everyone seems to like this so well . . . I halved the recipe to make only one loaf but otherwise made it exactly as specified. I cooked it for one hour and the toothpick came out clean. When I went to cut it, though, the entire inside was wet dough. I had to put it back in the oven and cooked it for another full 65 minutes just to get it to turn into bread! It was terrible! And then it didn't taste very awesome - very little banana or peanut butter flavor and extremely sweet. Maybe I should have tried muffins. I wouldn't make this one again - I would stick to the Cranberry Banana bread. Much better.

One of my favorite banana bread recipes and a hit with many family members and friends that I've served it to. The hint of cinnamon is very nice. The first time I tried this recipe, there seemed to be too much crumb topping that fell off when slicing so since then I've put about 3/4 of the topping in the middle of the loaf and left only 1/4 (or less) for the actual top.

I halved the recipe to make only one loaf. It was tasty, but didn't quite live up to my expectations based on the ingredients.

This recipe also bakes well in one 11x7 pan for 45 minutes if you do not have 2 8x4 pans. Oh soooo good!~ Theresa

I had a hard time gauging how much to put in each pan for bottom layer. Ended up with one full loaf and a half baked second loaf. Any suggestions?
