I started making this bread a year ago, and it is a hit with family and friends. I substituted the 4 bananas with 2 boxes of Jello instant banana pudding; it's incredibly moist and there's a great banana taste! Instead of shortening, I used 1 cup of oil. I utilized this same recipe for pumpkin bread, applesauce bread, and cranberry bread; makes great gifts!!

I love this recipe! My family got tired of the cinnamon friendship bread, so I was looking for other ways to use it. This worked GREAT!!

I just made this recipe and it turned out ok except it has a faint taste of beer.. matter of fact before I used the starter it smelled kinda like beer. I know that when I got the starter from my friend it had a sweet milky smell and the bread she had baked and given to me tasted sweet and milky. I was going to make the chocolate version tonight but Im afraid to now.

This recipe has good flavor. It's great and definately moist. I baked it at 300 degrees for 1 hour and 15 minutes. I never seem to get the middle done without burning the outside if I bake at the higher temp.

I've made this over and over and it never fails to get compliments. I make no changes. TIP: I made this today into a pumpkin loaf. I used mashed pumpkin in place of the banana and added cinnamon, allspice, nutmeg and ginger. Turned out beautifully. It'll make a nice Christmas loaf for friends.

I loved this bread. It was very moist and flavor full. I made it just as it was written, next time I think I will add just a little cinnamon to the batter. I will definitely use this recipe again when I have the starter. Thanks.

Everyone loved this and it's my favourite way to use the starter, mainly because most of the other recipes have pudding mix in them. I confess to making a change. Because I ran out of white sugar, I substituted 1/2 cup of brown sugar. This was moist, kept very well, and baked nicely in my longer (13 inch) loaf pans. I will be making it again in 10 days when I have more starter!

I made muffins instead of loaves, used paper baking cups to prevent them from touching the metal pan and baked them between 25-30 mins, yielded 2.5 dozen! they were very moist - perhaps too moist, but they were technically done, but next time I may bake for a few mins longer. In my opinion these needed more banana flavor (i used 4 overripe bananas), and some spice to the batter. next time i will alter the recipe to better suit my tastes. they just tasted like semi-plain sweet muffins with only a hint of banana. on some of them i made a crumb topping (from another recipe on this site, Banana Crumb Muffins). I liked them with the crumb topping and they gave them a pretty look. Hubby took them to work this morning and they went over so-so (by comparison, I made regular cinnamon friendship bread for them and I heard raves all day long) I probably will make these again but tweak the recipe alot. I will say that I really liked this recipe because it used 2 cups of Friendship Bread starter - not only did it make the muffins puff up alot and look really cute, but it got rid of 2 bags of starter so i didnt have to find as many "friends"
