Hint when making banana bread: After pouring the batter into the pan, let it sit about 20 minutes before baking to get the full banana flavor !!

    Have tried many banana breads but this is one of the best. I added walnuts to mine. Would recommend this to anyone. A winner for sure!

    This recipe has been a family favorite for a long time. I make mini-loaves so I can freeze some. When making the smaller loaves you don't have to cook them as long. This recipe doubles well also.

    I used one more banana than called for because I had it to use. The result was a bread that was yummy, though a bit mushy. We don't mind, but for guests I would have adherred more closely to the recipe, which is fantastically simple and delicious.

    I made this recipe twice, both times it was delicious! the first time following the recipe exactly with choc. chips. the second, i substituted whole-wheat flour and applesauce, due to lack of ingreidents and added walnuts and cranberries. the result was a very moist tasty bread. this one's a keeper!

    This was very good. I added 1/2 tsp of ginger (ground), 1/4 tsp of ground allspice and ground nutmeg. It did cook faster than stated and turned a dark brown on the outside, but it was delicious. Thanks for sharing!

    Nice moist banana bread. My husband was especially impressed with the nice way the banana flavor comes through. I think I will add chopped walnuts next time.
