I  hope you enjoy this beautiful dessert. I know I truly did! If you are in the market for a new banana bread recipe, give this one a try, Watkins Banana Spice Bread. I used this one the other day for the very fist time. I used mini muffin pans. I also omitted the walnuts, and used Watkins Rum extract in stead of the Watkins Banana extract!
