180 Reviews of Melt in Your Mouth Banana Bread

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.

    Easy to make, did not stick to the pan . I did use 3/4 cup sugar and added 1/4 cup flour because the first time I made it I thought it was too sweet. Pretty good.

    Prepared this for my two sons and their wives. Have been making banana bread for them for many years and they both said this is the best one yet! I prepared it with Splenda instead of sugar which helped a little since I am diabetic. I also used chopped pecans in it and placed whole pecans on top. This is another one that I will add to the top of my list. Five stars is not enough!

    Since this was the first time I bake, I followed the recipe word by word. However, being a nutty nut, I couldn't refrain myself from adding some chopped walnut. The baking pan I borrowed from a friend was well seasoned, so the cake looked perfect. Everyone in my family agreed that the taste was exceptional. So "You did the time (typing the recipe) and I get the price (receiving all credits)" . Thanks for sharing your recipe.

    This was the best banana bread I've ever made! It was so moist and delicious! It did take about 1 hour 15 minutes to cook. I noticed some said it fell apart. Just make sure you test it before you take it out of the oven. Tester was almost clean(just a little "stuff" on it) when it was done. One hour would not have been enough. But is it ever yummy! My mother is a Jiffy mix banana bread person, and doesn't like any others, but she LOVED this one! Even my kids did! :o Thanks for sharing, and I CAN'T wait to try your pumpkin bread!

    Experienced same problem with sticking to the pan and underdone. I was hoping this would not burn on the outside and cook on the inside. Cake broke apart when I tried to unmold from pan. And I did grease it. Also, am feeling this recipe is a little shy of flour, using only half of what is normal in a Banana Bread. Also think blending sugar,Oil & eggs together first would have improved the whole texture.

    I want to start out saying I was determined to make this recipe!! I used 1/2 cup strawberry lite applesauce (sweetened with splenda; for some reason I was out of the regular lite) plus 1 tbsp Enova oil instead of the 2/3 cup oil, 2 eggs worth egg beaters, 1 cup half whole wheat half enriched white mix flour, little less than 1 cup splenda instead of sugar, 1 box fat free sugar free banana cream pudding (again for some reason I was out of vanilla), salt substitute, and a little baking powder since splenda seems to flatten a lot of my recipes. And I mazola sprayed my loaf pan just in case. This was absolutely delicious! It is truly the most moist banana bread me and husband has ever had. Thank you for the recipe... next time I will use regular applesauce, but it was still good. Thank you for the wonderful recipe.

    I made this last night. I have 2 complaints. First, the bread stuck. I did not add anything or take anything away from the recipe. I followed it to the letter and I am a very experienced cook. Second, after 1 hour in the oven, the middle was still very raw. I had to bake this for an additional 30 minutes and it still isn't really done.
