Excellent banana bread recipe. Good, strong banana flavor, good texture, and moist. Will definitely make this one again.

I've made this recipe twice now. I took note of previous hints and use 1 c white and 1 c brown sugar, butter instead of shortening, add 1/2 tsp nutmeg, coat the pans with cin & sugar. I also cook this at 325. I make one loaf with 3/4 c pecans and 1 loaf w/o nuts. My family loves this bread. I always have made bread out of old bananas so they have tried a lot of different recipes. This is "The One".

Love this recipe! Reminds me of my mom's. What a great way to use up those too-ripe bananas!

Excellent banana bread; however, I added 1 tsp. of cinnamon, 1/2 tsp. of nutmeg and 2 Tbsp. of buttermilk. I baked the bread for 1 hour and 20 mins and covered the loaves after removing from the oven. The bread was moist, not soggy, and had a wonderful flavor. I highly recommend this recipe. Pretty easy, too.

This has been the best/easiest recipe I've found. I doubled it and substituted half the butter with cranberry juice I also used half cake flour (and half all purpose) to make it even better. And I added watnuts - yum!

I used 1 cup of brown sugar & 1 cup of white sugar to get more flavour. But i find that its too sweet - could be because the bananas already lend a lot of sweetness to the cake. Next time will probably cut the sugar by another 1/2 cup. The cake is moist & soft and not as dense as I expected it to be. But everyone who tasted the cake loves it. Maybe next time will try adding some sour cream to balance out the sweetness.

Absolutely delicious. I sprinkled some vanilla sugar on the top and it added a nice little vanilla-y crunch.

Wonderful! Very moist, not as dense, lighter and fluffier than most banana bread recipes, nice flavor and a great touch with the vanilla. I thought it sounded like an extreme amount, but it turned out fabulous. Thanks, I agree with your family, this is some of the best banana bread!

I had lost my old favorite - this more than made up for it! I added chopped nuts, because we love 'em in our banana bread, but this was so good it would have still been 5 stars without them. Moist and delicious :-) One suggestion, that I've used for years with sweet breads of all sorts: instead of flouring the greased pan I use sugar, or in this case cinnamon sugar - it makes a lovely additional crunch and flavor rather than that floury taste, and works just as well.

I cut this recipe in half and made 15 muffins. I also took the advice in previous reviews and used brown sugar instead of white. I also used a few more bananas, used margarine instead of butter, added some whole wheat flour and did the brown sugar/cinnamon mix for the bottom and top of muffins. This was the best recipe ever! My kids (and their friends) ate them all up! Thanks for a great recipe Teri Lyn!

This is THE BEST! I followed the advice of other reviewers by using 1 c. brown sugar and 1 c. granulated sugar; I also used substituted butter for half of the shortening with great results. Sprinkling the loaf generously with the cinnamon-sugar mixture is a must! This creates a moist crust with a unique look. This loaf is dense and moist; if you're looking for light and cakey, search elsewhere. By far the best banana bread recipe I've found to date. I even received great compliments from someone who normally doesn't like banana bread! Do yourself a favor and try this once--you'll never try another recipe.

I have made this recipe a few times using the advice of other reviewers and they are right about the cinnamon and sugar on the top and bottom. Also using half brown sugar and half white makes a great difference.

Really yummy! I used 1/2 shortening and 1/2 cinnamon applesauce. I used 1/2 whole wheat and 1/2 unbleached flour. I also added 1/2 tsp nutmeg and 1 tsp. cinnamon for that great flavor that makes it stand out in the crowd of ordinary banana breads. Yummy!

This was a nice dense bread. I did not use shortening. Instead I used 1/2 cup of applesauce and 1/2 cup of oil. I also used 1 cup of white and 1 cup of brown sugar. Very good!

wow I have made bananna bread before and had many different recipes but decided to try this one, It came out clean from the pans and was so moist it melted in our mouth. I would suggest any first time bananna bread maker to use this recipe. I used butter flavor pam for the pans as suggested by another review and it was awesome

What do I do on a snowy day in PA with 5 overripe bananas on my counter? Try this recipe! After taking several suggestions from other ratings, I made the following changes: I used 3/4 cup white sugar and 3/4 cup brown sugar (this was plenty sweet); I added 1 tsp. baking powder and 1 tsp cinnamon; I added 3/4 cup chopped, toasted pecans to one of the loaves. I used butter for the shortening, and needed to bake the loaves about 10 min. more than stated in the recipe. It was delicious! Great texture and taste.

Overall I would say this recipe is good, but it just isn't quite what I've been looking for. I did take the advise from some other reviews and instead of 2 1/2 c. sugar, I used 1 c. sugar and 1 c. packed brown sugar. I also added 1 tsp. of cinnamon and 1/2 tsp. nutmeg. I think the cinnamon and nutmeg drown-out the banana taste too much and ended up tasting more like a zucchini bread or something! This did turn out very good, but I was just looking for something heavier than this. This recipe is very cake-like, which isn't bad and I would make this again, it just wasn't what I was looking for this time!
