This was truly delicious! I used butter instead of shortening. This loaf has wonderful flavor, is moist and sure didn't last long. Thanks for sharing this great recipe.

    Finally a banana bread recipe that makes 2 loaves!! I am so happy to find this recipe. Whenever I make banana bread my DH would always eat it before I even had a chance to get a slice!! Not anymore with this wonderful recipe. My DS is making this for the county 4-H fair and I had to sample it! I packed 2 slices in DH lunchbox and he called later and asked why I didn't pack more, he loves it!! Wonderful flavor. Nice texture to this bread, very moist. The banana flavor is excellent. It is very easy to mix together. I will be making this recipe from now on!! Thanks for this wonderful excellent 2 loaf recipe!!

    Love this banana bread. The directions were easy to follow and quick to make (who knew you didn't need to mash those bananas first--just beat them with the beaters!). I am especially happy that I have a loaf to eat now and a loaf to freeze. This banana has an exceptional texture and holds together perfectly even if you can't resist the temptation to cut into it when it is still warm.

    MizzNezz, I was in the mood to bake (trying to shake off a disappointing dinner!), and I'm so glad I selected your recipe for banana nut bread. I had two large brown bananas, so I halved your recipe, which was just the ticket to use them up. What a lovely, banana-laden loaf-- glad I didn't give in to the temptation to add some spices as it's great as is. The only thing I might do differently next time is use half oil, half shortening as I noticed a slight greasy feel to the loaf. I didn't have quite the prescribed amount of banana, so I added plain nonfat yogurt to make up the difference. Seemed to work like a charm. Thanks for this delicious and very simple recipe.
