This bread is so delicious I make it weekly! I bring a slice of it to work every day and feel like I'm eating something both healthy and delicious. I like to change up the dried fruits I put in it and it always turns out good. My husband is also addicted to it. :-)

This is now my signature banana bread recipe. I usually make about 16 muffins from it and bake them 18 or so minutes. I also cut the brown sugar to 1/2 cup loosely packed and 3 Tbsp. maple syrup- still plenty sweet. These muffins are crunchy and have such a full flavor that I¿m not sure I¿ll ever go back to my old recipe.

I'm very surprised that BH&G isn't professional enough to cite their sources. This recipe (and the photo) is lifted directly from Tracey Benjamin's site "Shutterbean" and I would thank this site to mention it. For shame!
