This extra-special banana bread makes a wonderful gift for friends and neighbors. The recipe makes two loaves, so I can serve one and keep the other one in the freezer so I have a last-minute gift on hand. —Beverly Sprague, Catonsville, Maryland

I have made this bread several times and it always turns out great. Everyone that has tasted it has wanted the recipe. The only thing I change is I wait ten minutes before I put on the glaze. Otherwise the top of the bread turns soggy.

With the addition of cream cheese to the batter this makes this bread extra moist, extra tasty and extra special!! Took it to work and had to give the recipe!!

Wonderful recipe! We enjoy it very much. Does not last long. It makes 2 loaves & freezes well. It is light, some banana breads I think are to heavy. DELICIOUS!!! I have made the recipe several times. One of our favorites.

This was very moist and it was easy to make with ingredients I had on hand. Making two loaves was another plus!

Absolutely the best! Love that it makes 2 loaves. I always keep one for my family and give one away. Haven't found anyone that doesn't love this!

Works fine with whole wheat flour. If you're crazy about pecans, use the 2 cups, or you could get by fine with 1 and not sprinkle them on top.~ Theresa

This is my favorite banana bread recipe. The cream cheese in the batter really gives it a good flavor, and the toasted pecans with the orange glaze on top makes it taste SO good! I love this bread.
