Yesterday evenening, I was looking for flax seed recipes and up came this one. Lo, I had 3 old bananas on the counter just starting to put on spots. I've never made b-bread before. Never liked the taste, but baby, this one was a big surprise ... also very moist. I used a mix of white and wheat flour and a mix of ground hazelnuts and ground flax seed. Didn't have whole flax seeds, so didn't add them. Baked it in a bundt cake form for about 40 min. It was good. Cake was gone from my house by this morning. Verdict from the kids. Make it again. It was good.

A great "go to" healthier basic recipe that you can customize very easily with success! The texture, flavor, and rise was perfect. I removed 2 bananas and added Nutella; used La Tourngelle Walnut Oil; egg WHITES; unbleached Organic Pastry Flour at same timing- check the last 5 min., though, because with Flaxseed it heats faster, just let it cool for 10 minutes- it will continue to cook during this time. Incredibly easy. Fantastically good. Everyone loved its nutty, delicately banana, chocolatey flavor.

Great recipe! Loved it. Made a few changes... used whole wheat flower, ground all the flaxseed, used brown sugar, used 4 bananas instead of 3, and I topped it with chopped walnuts before placing it in the oven. Turned out spectacular :)

This was a great recipe! I added frozen blueberries to the batter and my husband loved them. I did take the advice of others and only used ground flax seed. Will make again.

I didn't use dates, i substituted the vegetable oil for applesauce, and I used toasted flax seeds to give it a peanut-y taste. This is absolutely delicious! All it needed was a little of the white sugar substituted for brown sugar. It's real moist and, not to mention, healthy! Great breakfast side.

Wow! You would never guess this was so healthy. I'm going tear up my 1-stick-of-butter-4-eggs-2-cups-of-sugar banana bread recipe and throw it out! I tweaked this one a bit, though. Not that it needs modifications to be good, but I just wanted to change it up a bit. I used only 2 very ripe bananas and it still had a great banana taste. Substituted 4 tb unsweetened applesauce for the oil, used packed brown sugar instead of white, and ended up adding 1/2 tsp cinnamon to the batter. Also followed the suggestions of the other reviewers and didn't use the whole flaxseed. I used some mixed dried fruit instead of dates and added only 1/4 cup. Made the batter into 12 muffins, they rose well and came out great. Family loved it. Will be making this again, thanks!

Extremely moist bread! It's guilt-free, too, if the oil is substituted for 1/2 c. applesauce and 1/4 c. honey, as suggested by others. It's chock full of good stuff for you! My only hesitation about giving this bread full stars is that is that it tastes of both banana bread, and a healthy grain bread... it is different. I'm not sure what to eat it with. I think it works best as a morning bread with coffee, like a grainy muffin would. Perhaps the flavor still needs to grow on me. For those who are used to eating flax, etc. you will love this! I love that this is a healthy "power" bread, is moist and good for you!

Wow! really happy to have found this- using stuff I have. I did modify this recipe as follows: 1/2 milled flax, no whole. Added 1/3 c. oatmeal instead. also used 1/2 applesauce and 1/4 c honey instead of oil & sugar. added 1/2 tsp vanilla, left out dates altogether. I baked 12 muffins for 15 minutes, and they came out PERFECT. I have been playing with recipes to come up with a yummy healthy muffin that was compliant with a church-wide Daniel fast- and the way I jimmied this is exactly what I wanted. I am usually a "butter it" girl when it comes to muffins, but I inhaled this one as is :)

Wonderful quick bread. I used applesauce in place of oil. I did not add whole flaxseed, just used the half cup ground. I replaced the dates with 1/2 cup dried cranberries. Baked perfectly in convection oven for 1 hour.

This makes great bread. I'm going to replace this recipe with my traditional banana bread recipe. The only thing I did differently is to replace the all-purpose flour with whole wheat integral flour. I also added a handful of walnuts. YUM!

I did half white and half whole wheat flour and added 1/2 tsp cinnamon and several dashes of mace. I left the whole flax seeds in for crunch. The batter filled 3 mini loaf pans which baked for 25 minutes in a convection oven. I thought it delicious, my husband thought it too sweet. It's stayed fairly most after 2 days. I'm making it again today and will try all whole wheat flour.

I have made 3 banana bread recipes from this site. This is by FAR the best even though it's the "healthiest". Yeah, yeah, I know there's sugar in it, but at least there's wheat flour (in mine), tons of ground flax (I bought mine milled and didn't use any whole seeds since they are worthless) and MY KIDS LOVE IT!!! Can't ask for better than that.

I was looking for a way to use some flax meal that I had on hand and this recipe was perfect! Instead of using whole flax seed, I just used all ground. Also substituted raisins for dates since I didn't have dates on hand. This make a great, hearty bread. Even my picky kids enjoyed it!
