I handsome bananas that got too ripe, but we're perfect for baking with and this recipe really did the trick! It's very moist, not too sweet, and is very flavorful. I baked it and brought it to a potluck and came back home with an empty bread pan! That's saying something!

Perfection!! The best banana bread I have ever had. I used butter instead of margarine, 1/2 cup white sugar, 1/2 cup brown sugar. I added 1 tsp of vanilla, 1/2 tsp of cinnamon, and a touch more salt. Bake at 325 degrees in a glass loaf pan for about 50 minutes. Add a little brown sugar on top.. YUM!!

Pretty good! I added 1/2 tsp of cinnamon and 1/2 tsp of vanilla, substituted the margarine for butter, and baked it on 400 degrees for a little over an hour. Next time, I will add more sugar.

Just "okay" for me. Nothing to write home about. Definitely not my Mom's banana bread. I did try the 2/3 c white sugar, 1/3 c brown sugar, 1 tsp vanilla & 1/2 tsp cinnamon (and 1 1/4 c. bananas). But, it's pretty average. I was hoping for more after reading all of the reviews. I gave it 3 stars because it's not horrible, just not really good either.

I have been searching for a long time for a decent banana bread recipe, because my fiance compares almost everything to how his mother used to make it :). He loves this one the best.

This is a simple but delicious recipe. Don't change a thing about or make any additions.

Very moist! I used a glass loaf pan and needed to bake it for over an hour. I don't like walnuts so I omitted them. I used brown sugar in place of the white nad butter instead of margarine. I added cinnamon and vanilla as per other suggestions and am glad I did. I am going to use a 3rd banana next time I make this recipe as it did not have enough banana flavour for my liking. Overall I would say this is a good base recipe, tweak as you see fit!
