A truly delicious bread...a very interesting take on the traditional banana bread. With a few changes, it was quite yummy...especially with a light chocolate glaze. I agree that it needs more cherries, but other than that it was very good.

This was absolutely the best Banana Nut Bread I've ever had.! [I don't understand why they don't have the word 'nut' in the name-since this draws us nut lovers.!] Although, when I did a test loaf, I did find that the banana over powered the maraschino cherry's, throwing off the 3 flavo balance.. So I did have to add 3-4 more per loaf..:) and it was then a wonderful perfect blend of all 3 flavors my friends just raved over..
