Melt in Your Mouth Banana Bread

Recipe #20289 | 1¼ hours | 5 min prep | SERVES 8 , 2 loaf (Change Servings)

RECIPE BY: Mysterygirl

I searched and searched for a banana bread recipe with the texture that I wanted and couldn't find one. One day I decided to modify my Melt in Your Mouth Pumpkin Bread to see if I could make up my own recipe. My family loved it and it was exactly what I was looking for so here it is. I hope you like it as much as we do.

    I am a big fan of this bread!! I've tried A LOT of recipes for banana bread, and this is the best I've had. I mashed 5 bananas to get 2 cups, and had to bake it slightly longer than an hour. This recipe will definitely be my standby for banana bread. Thanks, Mysterygirl!

    You did it again Mysterygirl! I thought the Melt In Your Mouth Pumpkin Bread was the best but this one is outstanding! If I could I would give it 10 stars! I made one and when we tasted it I just had to make two more. Can't you tell we are all banana lovers ; ) After I made the recipe your way I added a few additions to the next two. One I changed the French Vanilla Pudding to Banana Cream Pudding and added nuts. The other I added nuts and chocolate chips. Another winner and a keeper, Thanks Mysterygirl! Truely, melt in your mouth!

    This is the best banana bread I have ever made. I would never have thought of using pudding mix but it makes such a huge difference. Hey, if it works for cakes, it should work for breads. It is so moist and it really does melt in your mouth. When I have made banana bread in the past, I have always had the problem where the outside of the bread is burnt by the time the inside of the bread was done. I did not have that problem at all with this recipe.
