With ripe bananas and a desire to try out a new recipe, I decided to give this one a chance. Having made many loaves of banana bread through the years, the ingredients seemed pretty straight forward. The use of a mixer is definitely not needed. This came out fluffy, moist and golden in an hour. The only thing I would do next time is add some cinnamon and nutmeg for flavor and aroma.
I cut this recipe in half. It calls for more bananas than most recipes and the result is a great banana flavor. I used four medium sized ripe bananas. I also added some pumpkin pie spice and half walnuts, half pecans. It turned out great. The batter seems a little wet, but the result was a moist texture even though I had to bake it the full 75 minutes.
I took the other review's advice and added a teaspoon of nutmeg & cinnamon. It was perfection! The batter made 2 dz muffins and a loaf.
This is a great recipe! I love that it has more bananas than you usually see in other recipes. I baked mine in mini loaves to give out at the holidays.I got about 10 out of it (last one was a bit smaller). I am definitely going to use this recipe from now on. The only downfall is all the bowls and dishes I dirtied but it's worth it for this awesome bread!
I made this recipe last week and my whole family loved it! It was the best banana nut bread I have had! It was moist and yummy! I used 5 ripe bananas and pecans instead of walnuts. I made one large loaf and 4 small loaves to share with friends. I am waiting for my new bananas to ripen so I can make it again!
Nope all the P's accross the board. Practically perfect in every way. It's almost like Marry Poppins made it herself. Thank you Double Banana Nut.??
Great recipe! This was a big hit for Thanksgiving. So good I had several friends ask me to make this instead of giving them a Christmas present. I followed the recipe to the letter.
Ad d chocolate chips, walnuts, half the white flour with whole wheat ... We use olive oil instead of vegetable oil!!! Perfection every time!!
Prep time 20 minutes is a joke. When finished it looked picture perfect but could not even taste the banana's. They were ripe too. Sorry I love and all receipes.com but this not one I will even think about again. Merry Christmas to those these would have gone to.
I made this recipe and it was good but a bit too sweet for me. I make banana bread often and prefer the recipes that have a slight sweetness over the ones that are very sweet. I would take out at least 1/4 cup of the sugar if I ever made this again. It does however look beautiful exactly like the picture.
