I don't usually quote myself, but this is just an update.If it does not taste good,,, no posting, and no one will know.
Yes
things did turn out well, and delish..
Had 5 very ripe bananas, and I didn't make a banana bread for some time, so today was the day.
I scoped around in the INDEX, and chose this one.

For easier viewing, here is the print.
I did make some changes. I am listing in same order as in recipe.
4½ cups of flour
1 cup granular sugar
½ cup Dark brown sugar
1 teaspoon regular salt
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon cinnamon
5 ripe bananas
3 eggs
1 cup canola oil
1 teaspoon vanilla
½ can,, 10 oz of crushed pineapple, with the juice.
Didn't have any walnuts
1 tablespoon Cocoa.
Crumble topping is my regular version of streusel that I make very often.
I like to do play,,, by,,, play.
Used 3 bread pans. Parchment paper is just soo much a part of my baking. Soooooo easy to extract from pan,,, and pans are virtually clean. I still wash them,,,,, but no scrubbing required.
Yes, I worked quickly, and dropped streusel topping, just before placing in oven.
Out of oven after 60 minutes. I checked at 50 minutes,,, but dough stick was still not dry to my liking. so back for 10 more.
On cooling rack.

Went for seconds
Notes.
Turned out delicious. Will continue making this version, with the added crushed pineapple from can.
I used slightly more flour than the original recipe. Reasons likely,, had more bananas, eggs were jumbo size. also used more crushed pineapple.
My rule of thumb on quantity of baking soda. 1 teaspoon per 2 cups of flour. It has been working out well for me. I do not encounter baking soda flavor in the finished baked product. That means I did not over do the quantity.
I do read a lot about how much to use. There were suggestion to use 1/4 teaspoon per cup of flour. They also noted to use fresh less than 6 month old Baking soda.
My view:
I am not sure how old Baking soda is at the store. I will also not be running out every 6 months to get a new box,,, when I have only used up a few teaspoons from my current box.
I do test my baking soda to make sure it is ACTVE still. Just a drop of vinegar on some soda shows it is still active.
I keep my Baking Soda box in a Zip Lock plastic bag, to prevent humidity affecting the contents.
some healthy teas to try , olive leaves ( organic, steep for 12 minutes , tastes a little bit bitter) , moringa tea, steep in 90 C water for 6 minutes, and jioa gu lan tea , which is supposed to be very healthy, none of them contain any caffein..
