I did not like this. It is very dense and the whole process is uneccessary. I tried alterating it to make maple-chocolate chip.. but those too were dense. I guess i was hoping for more of a fluffy, moist muffin.

This recipe is wonderful. I made mine into muffins (see the photo above). Because muffins cook faster, I watched them carefully and took them out when a butter knife came out mostly clean. The result was a dense, moist cake. The only thing I will do to change the recipe in the future is add a little bit of granulated sugar to the mix. The bread has its own sweetness as it is, but my fiancé thinks it could use a little extra punch. After all, these are for him!

First, let me say I am a "beginner" cook. I liked the recipe although it was a touch dry. Others recommended adding more banana...I think this would help. It is not a very sweet bread but I tried it with natural peanut butter spread and a cappuccino and enjoyed very much!

Not happy with this banana bread - too heavy and not sweet at all. Maybe we just want more sweet in it - not sure, but seemed "thick" too.

This is a very delicious bread. It's moderately sweet and slightly moist. I read other reviews and added 1/2tsp baking soda and 1/2tsp baking powder. Had to bake it for an hour. I would give it 5 stars with the modifications. You don't even need any spices, it's already that good. Thanks!

It's a good, healthy bread, but dry and pretty bland. I think it would have been better with more banana and perhaps powdered sugar once the loaf is sliced. I prefer more moist breads though..

This healthy version of banana nut bread is "okay" if you're seriously health conscious, but really a let down if you're wanting a bread that tastes anything like traditional banana nut bread. I added some semisweet chocolate chips, but the bread was still not sweet enough for me.

Really yummy, and the pure maple syrup makes it unique, and sweet enough so that there is no need for any added sugar. My dad was visiting and basically ate the entire loaf!

I loved, loved, loved this recipe!! I did use white flour because I didn't have any wheat flour on hand, but I didn't change a single thing otherwise. The banana bread came out PERFECT! it was just sweet enough, had a perfect consistancy, and rose wonderfully! It is probably one of the BEST banana bread recipes I have gotten from this site.
