I didn't find it necessary to mix the ingredients in a food processor. I just omitted the sliced banana at the end and mashed and mixed the 3 bananas and the wet ingredients all together with a whisk. I paid attention to the reviews of this recipe that complained of "crumbliness;" so I added an egg along with the wet ingredients and mine did not turn out crumbly at all. Additional changes I made include almonds instead of walnuts and I added a teaspoon of salt. It's yummy!
Great recipe! I only made this once but made these substitutions: 2 large squirts maple syrup rather than honey 3 T sour cream (since people said it was dry) 3/4 c cornmeal and 1/4c brown sugar (since people said it wasn't sweet enough) Very tasty! My egg-allergic son could also eat it - yeah!
I am giving this recipe 5 stars only after several adjustments.1) I doubled the ingredients (except the b. powder)for 2 loaves 2)I used regular white flour instead of pastry flour 3)No walnuts 4)1/2 cup brown sugar 5)Baked the slices of banana on top of the loaves(not folded into batter) 6)Cut oil in half and replaced with applesause....and voila! Moist slightly sweet banana cornbread! A great way to combine two great breads. Thanks.
Pretty good but not very sweet. Good for a healthy snack or breakfast.
This is just the best thing ever. If I could give it ten stars I would. I can't believe I spent 28 years of my life without it. It's like a cross between cornbread and banana bread and in my opinion it combines what's best in both - the hearty taste of cornbread with the moist texture of banana bread. If you're the type of person like me who has trouble deciding between a corn muffin and a banana muffin for breakfast this is for you!
Excellent! But to be fair I made a few modifications. I used 3 large bananas plus the one sliced one I halved the oil and added 1/4 cup milled flaxseed added 2 T reduced fat sour cream and added a pinch of salt. I found it to be plenty sweet though I don't like my breakfast breads tasting like cake so this was perfect. The walnut flavor comes through beautifully it's full of great nutrients and it's very satisfying alongside a cup of coffee. Thanks for the recipe!
This bread is simple to make and tastes great! I like it best spread with a little butter or margarine. I think it is better than my usual bananna nut bread because it is not as heavy.
Absolutely LOVE this recipe!!! The only change I made was using agave nectar instead of honey and coconut oil instead of veg oil. I also added 1/2 cup of homemade applesauce. But the recipe is outstanding. Nice and healthy and filling. I was also able to get more servings that what is listed since it is so filling.
Like other reviewers I made a couple of the suggested changes... added a half cup of brown sugar and an egg. It was delicious and I felt it deserved a 5 because it was a recipe I found by searching 2 ingredients that you wouldn't normally find together: bananas and cornmeal. I didn't expect to find anything but I not only found this recipe I was pleasantly surprised by the uncommon taste and texture of the combination. Thank you!
OK... totally not what I was expecting! I should have realized when the only sweet ingredient was 2 tbsp of honey. If you are looking for a sweet bread.. this isn't it. The whole thing went into the trash it was dry and bland.
