coconut flakes, almonds, good shake of nutmeg, dried cranberries (not all in the same loaf!), and my favorite is to divide the dough in the pan making a ditch and using chocolate sprinkles in the ditch and spooning in the rest of the dough to cover creating a choco marbled loaf. --Mini Oven

Some of my recipes call for dates, sour cream, raisins, maple syrup, sesame seeds (not all in the same loaf)--but the weirdest award goes to Moosewood for directing you to soak the pureed banana in a cup of strong coffee. Mm. Never been remotely tempted to try it. How do you 'soak' a wet thing anyway..?

You could have a right tropical thing going I suppose, but in my world if you've thrown in chocolate chips, walnuts and a little nutmeg, the lily is gilded. This looks like a worthy edition, though. Where do you get all those fantastic fresh raspberries? Do you grow them yourself? Around here you either pick the tiny but wine-flavored wild ones, tend your own, or pay a premium for half a pint at the grocer's.

i recently added white chocolate chips to my banana bread and then melted some onto the top. mmmmmm was more like dessert than jusdt bread.

I routinely substitute up to 50% of flour in my recipe with granola, the coarser, the better.
