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.

    This was a great banana bread. I added a cup of chopped pecans. The brown butter and cardamom give it a little more depth of flavor. Others are correct that it is less sweet than cake but the sugar topping gives it a sweet note while still making it a nice companion to your morning coffee or a cup of tea.

    Decent banana bread but not a ton of flavor. Definitely not a sweet bread at all. As the other commenters said this one won’t replace my other banana bread recipe.

    Neither the browned butter nor the cardamom really came through in the final bread. It wasn’t even really very banana-ish. Definitely won’t replace any of my top banana bread recipes, I probably won’t make this one again. I took it to a pot-luck event and someone asked if it was zucchini bread so . . .

    This is good banana bread (we love cardamom!) but won't replace our family favorite from Midwest Made.
