This was a great tasting bread, tho I should have baked for a little longer. I did add about 5 minutes to the 1 hour bake time, and 15 minutes would probably have been right. I love banana and macadamia nut ANYTHING, and this fits the bill. I'll keep it close, for when the pang of needing a nut bread strikes! Thanks for sharing, Rita~.

This couldn't be easier and it's SO DECADENT. I could eat this every day, and the flavors take me back to my honeymoon in Maui. Thanks so much for posting! One tip - using your hands, break apart any hard lumps in the brown sugar before mixing with the butter. Otherwise you'll have lumps of it in your bread.
