chopped caramel !. tootsie roll can be use as well. caramel chunks is fantastic in banana bread.
chopped toasted pecans


chopped toasted almonds


some shredded zuchinni


loads of butter


a huge glass of milk
If you want a really moist banana bread add a cup of plain yogurt. Pecans are also great.
I like adding the spice called mace. It's similar to nutmeg, but a little more kick.
Definitely use REAL butter in your recipe!
Besides some chopped walnuts, I really enjoy adding chopped dried apricots!
Add extra Vanilla. It's always a good flavor for any bread.
