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.

We found this almost like a pound cake--very heavy and moist, but so good. The second time making it I added a bag of semi-sweet chocolate chips and poured it in a 9x13 pan. The chips sunk, making a delicious chocolate layer at the bottom. Thumbs up!

This was a great recipe! I poured the batter into a 13x9 pan and baked it for 35-40 minutes. It came out so perfectly. The flavor is yummy, the texture is perfect. No overcooked outside and underdone middle here. I can't wait to try the pumpkin version!

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.
