Best ever Banana bread.

Any idea what the calorie content is? Or is this a homemade recipe?

Humbly submitted for your approval. My banana bread recipe for your consideration.

Banana Bread

Ingredients

1 cup light brown sugar
8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter room temperature
3 large brown eggs
5 ripe bananas
1 tablespoon sweetened condensed milk
1 - 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
½ cup chunky cinnamon or original chunky applesauce
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground Allspice
½ teaspoon freshly ground nutmeg
1 cup chopped walnuts
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
Confectioner's sugar to dust the top

Preheat the oven to 310 degrees F.
( This temp. setting is for a Pampered Chef stonewear bundt cake pan. You will, of course, have to adjust the temp according to how your oven bakes. )
Coat a bundt cake pan liberally with non-stick cooking spray.
Cream the light brown sugar and unsalted butter in a large mixing bowl until light and fluffy.
Add the brown eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
In a small bowl, mash the bananas with a fork.
Mix into the bananas the condensed milk, vanilla extract, applesauce, allspice, nutmeg and cinnamon.
In another bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
Add the banana mixture to the creamed mixture and add the walnuts.
Stir until combined.
Add dry ingredients, mixing just until flour disappears.
Pour batter into prepared pan and bake 1 hour to 1 hour 10 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Allow to cool to and remove from bundt pan as soon as it is safe. Allow to cool to room temperature. Top with confectioner's sugar and serve.

Why not put that in it's own thread, rather than pollute this thread with an original recipe...

Well, I certainy didn't want anyone to think I was "polluting" a thread. The last time I checked this was a friendly information-sharing based site and not a competition. I was merely wishing to pass on to the other foodies interested another recipe. Apologies on offending your sense of propriety.

I was paying your recipe a compliment.

And please do put it in it's own thread when you get a chance, makes it easier to find and comment on.

I added 1/4 cup white chocolate chips to my second loaf. Turns out the baking time is sufficiently long to melt them completely. However, all is not lost, as they added another dimension of moisture and sweetness to the bread.
