I have never really been happy with the banana bread recipes I have tried up until now. This was perfect! My loaf pans were smaller so I also got 6 muffins (35 minutes) out of this recipe plus 2 loafs. I did add about a T of vanilla based on other reviews and I had six bananas to use up.

Very good banana bread. I was happy that it made two. One for me one for my neighbor!

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.

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.
