This was just GrEaT!! I honestly was not sure what to expect when I first read the recipe, but after reading all the reviews I had to try it and I was not at all disappointed. The only spice I used was Cinnamon and I forgot the nuts (distracted by the kids). I used a Kerr wide-mouth Mason jar, but I did still have a bit of difficulty getting it out of the jar..I am going to search for the wide-mouth straight side jars and I am sure they will work much better. The bread is so good and moist- my family loved it and I plan to bake dozens of these around the holidays and decorate the jars. EnJoY!!

I am so impressed with this!! I can't wait to make these for the holidays. Next time, I will only use 1/4 tsp cloves, 1/2 tsp of nutmeg, and add another cup of banana. Yummy!!

FANTASTIC!!!!Kids loved it in bundt cake form or muffin form. Reduced cloves by half and left out nuts for them. Stays moist for days. This is replacing my other recipe for banana cake that I've been using for years. A GREAT FIND.

I was just talking to my friend who is over seas for our country and we were talking about food. He asked me if I ever heard of bread in a jar, No I said. when done talking to him I searched the internet and found this. I was thrilled and now I will be making this for him to send over to him and his crew. I hope they all will enjoy it. And of course I have to keep 1 for me. Thanks for the recipe

I made this over the holidays. It was raw on the inside and did not come out of the jar. I was really disappointed bc I spent a lot of time following the directions and I am not the best cook in the world. Clearly, I had to of made an error bc this recipe has very good reviews

This recipe is very good and makes a great gift. However, I decided to coat the jars witha sugar and cinnamon mix after greasing. This gives the bread a great coating upon removal. I also increased the bananas to make it have a little more flavor.

What a novel idea. My picky children loved the bread and giving the bread as a gift in a jar was wonderfully easy, but it looked like I put a lot of effort into it!

Cut back on the cloves and added nutmeg. Added a handfull of rasins just 'cause I could. This is a very nice recipe. Maybe I'll replace the water with orange juice next batch to give it extra zing.

Yum! I made a 1/2 batch first without the jars to test the recipe and it made one full loaf and two mini loaves. I used butter instead of shortening (or is that the same thing?) and omitted the cloves. Incredibly good! I'm making the jars today to take to work for coworker presents. Thanks, great idea!

Awesome recipe... for those looking for jars, I found mine at Ace Hardware! I also stapled together a cardboard "funnel" and lined it with wax paper. It worked great for keeping the tops of the jars clean.

Oh, yes, definitely add nutmeg too! For winter holidays, a handful of chopped dried apricots (not pre-softened) made a neat seasonal variety with the bananas. And, I loved measuring half orange (or apple?) juice/half water. To those asking where to find jars: look at neighborhood garage sales, a bazaar or a "Dollar" store. However, sterilize those jars and use only new tops and rings.

Great recipe and fun to make. These are great for gift baskets and bake sales. I decorated the jars with fabric & ribbons and added a note to each jar with storage and heating instructions. I also made these with pumpkin instead of banana and thye turned out just as yummy. Some tips: Use a _VERY_ large mixing bowl, this makes a lot of batter. Be sure the jars are the wide-mouth, straight-sided kind or you'll have a hard time getting the bread in & out of the jars. Will use this recipe forever.

This recipe is fantastic. I was searching for jar recipes to give out and found this site. I have never made a better banana nut bread recipe and this will now go into my recipe file !!! I forgot to grease 2 of the jars and they still came out of the jars without sticking.
