Also, after heating the milk and melting the butter with the sugar, I added the eggs and the bananas to the milk mixture before mixing with the flour mixture. I also added a teaspoon of cinnamon and a 1\/2 teaspoon of nutmeg. In the end the bread was soft and yummy.

This bread has just the right amount of sweetness. It is light and has a slight banana flavor.
