Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    Added toasted walnuts and it came out beautifully.

    Good lord! Banana bread really doesn’t get better than this. Prepare for some splatters from browning the butter - I added about a teaspoon of dry milk powder to toast alongside and add additional toasty dairy notes. Shout out to Sohla el-Waylly for that tip. A wonderful cake!

    This is the BEST banana bread I have ever made. Hands down refuse to use any other recipe.

    Wow I loved this. Left the banana off the top and used sour cream and it still turned out great. Banana flavor is prominent in a good way and the brown butter and brown sugar add so much.

    Pretty decadent and wonderful! Agree with Molly that is more cake than classic bread, but I’m not complaining. Love the brown butter, and the brown sugar, which gives those nice Carmel and almost butterscotch notes.
