I am a bread machine novice. But this recipe was so fool-proof, I couldn't even manage to mess it up. Like many others, I didn't pre-mix. The bread machine took care of that and it turned out great.

Great recipe. First time bread maker without a bread machine. I greased a loaf pan and baked at 350 for 70-75 mins and it came out great!

Ok, well I obviously don't have the right breadmaker for this recipe. I pre-blended it, as instructed, and put it in my breadmaker, which doesn't have a sweet bread setting. I put it on the fast bread setting, that has lots of rise time and takes 3 hrs 10 min. During all this time, the bread didn't rise (I don't know how it was supposed to, since there's no yeast). When it finally got to baking, and finished, it was uncooked in the middle. I tried to finish it in the oven, but it was still completely inedible. It is extremely dense, and didn't rise at all so it was the size of half my bread pan. In my breadmaker, this was an utter failure.

Awesome! I used 3 bananas instead of 2/3 cup and had to cook the bread for another 30 minutes, but this was the yummiest bread I've ever had. Next time I'm going to try the applesauce instead of the butter.

I really like this recipe. I did not add any kind of nut, and used 1 over ripe plantain instead of a regular banana. The bread came out perfectly cooked, although it really does seem more like cake. Not that anybody minded. I wonder, does it freeze well?

I just received my bread machine (Black & Decker All in One Model B2200) as a wedding gift. And I LOVE it. I think this will be the way I make breads from now on. =)I've always made banana bread in the oven and they've never turned out right (burnt outside, gooey middle). I just threw everything into the bread machine (liquids, then dry ingredients). I did beat the eggs and mashed 2 bananas before adding it to the mix. And added a tsp of cinnamon and omitted the nuts since I didn't have any. I didn't have to grease the bread pan either. Used the Quick Bread mode. It came out perfect. Nice golden crust. Moist center, not gooey. And the flavor was good. I think I'll vanilla extract to it next time.

I'm going to taste this in the morning to see how it is overnight. What I did was subtract 1/2C flour & added 1/2C cocoa powder and some chocolate chips!

This bread was not done when the bread machine was. I had to put it in another pan and bake it in the oven :( Not what I expected to do. When it's done, bread has a very good flavor and texture. Bread baked in the oven takes less time.

Tasted great! I wasn't sure how it would turn out in my Breadman bread machine. It came out perfect. I used BatterBread setting and 1 pd loaf. I put the ingredients in order. The machine mixed everything for you and baked. It was so easy. I will make it again.

Pretty darn good, especially for how little work it took. Not 'The Best' I've ever had but still fairly wonderful.

This is the first and last time I will try a sweet bread in my maker. It was just as much work as regular banana bread, took 3 times as long to bake, and the chocolate chips (a must have) were stuck to the bottom and the crust was too hard. Nevertheless, my kids will eat it.

I don't normally like banana bread, and made this only for my toddler son who will eat himself silly on any kind homemade bread at all. It's really quite good! I was LAZY and just threw two full-size over-ripe bananas into the bottom of the breadpan, instead of mashing and measuring. I also used applesauce instead of margarine or butter. It turned out GREAT. I'm trying it today with butter for a neighbor, and I am sure it will still turn out fine.

Dry & bland - not the old fashioned banana bread recipe I remember. I am new to using the bread machine, so maybe I just have to accept that the bread will be dry. I used the 58 minute quick bread setting on my sunbeam and had to put the bread in the oven to finish baking. Plus there were just too many ingredients. I also tried the "Banana Bread - Quick Bread for Machines" and that one is a little better, but still not satisfied.

Absolutely delicious but didn't quite bake through. I'm going to try again with a little bit less moisture. Only the very top and center was not done. The rest was pretty dense, but still kind of fluffy. The flavor was perfect and I didn't have to pre-mix the ingredients or even grease my bread machine's pan. Very easy and tasty, will definately try again with slight modifications.

I successfully baked this in my Oster on the Expressbake 80 cycle. I liked the texture a lot, but the flavour was really bland for banana bread. Maybe I'll try apple sauce and more bananas next time.

DO NOT USE WITH A PANASONIC YD250. My quick bake cycle is 30 minutes, which was not nearly enough time to bake the bread. I was going to run it for another cycle, but my machine will not run again until it has cooled. So I am sure this is a great recipe, but my machine has left me with a half cook loaf :(

Very good taste and texture! I followed to a T except for addition of a couple sprinkles of cinnamon. It didn't cook all the way through in my bread machine though, middle was runny. I had to finish it off in the oven. I think i'll stick to my recipe, but overall really tasty bread! Thanks!!
