Not what I was expecting. After reading that people cooked it in the oven I tried it instead of my bread machine. Not too impressed. Came out with the bottom of the bread still super doughy after an hour and half cooking at 350. Might try again not sure. The part that is cooked tastes fabulous though.

My Breadman machine has a "batter breads" cycle...which means you can use this recipe without premixing ingredients...the whole cycle is 1 hour 40 minutes and does the mixing and baking. I only bake with butter, and this bread was so yummy, I may have eaten half of it myself!!! Great recipe and so much more moist than conventional loaf-pan baking.

Really good. I used strong white bread flour and baked it in my Panasonic SD-253 bread machine for about 65 minutes using the Bake option. Used 2 overripe bananas and the bread came out with a great 'banana-y' taste. Used slivered almonds since I didn't have walnuts. I'll probably try wholemeal wheat next time with a little less sugar for a healthier version.

very good! My machine has a 58 minute express bake, and i let it sit in there for another 10 minutes before opening the lid, very golden......unlike the usual denser brown color. A really moist cake, great with butter!

I'm sorry but this just did not turn out. The outside was cooked and it looked great, but it did not cook all the way through. Not to cry over spilled milk, I sampled the part that did bake through and although moist, it had no flavor. I had even added cinnamon and vanilla (and an extra banana). Sorry. Will go back to the Banana Banana bread recipe on this site.

It was good. Not the best I've made, but pretty good for so few ingredients. I'd make this again.

Great tasting! The bread crumbled and fell apart when I tried to slice it. Must have done something wrong on my part. Will try it again to see if it turns out better because the flavor was wonderful. Also I did add one tsp. vanilla as one reviewer suggested.

I used 1 cup whole wheat flour and 1 1/2 white flour and the bread turned out great. I didn't use nuts so my version was a little healthier because of the whole wheat and had a little less fat in it, too. Yum !

Excellent, moist bread and sooo easy to make. I added 1 tsp of vanilla essence and gave the ingredients a quick mix first as I was worried about pockets of flour as one reviewer said. Am gonna make this for my friends last day at work on Sunday - mmmm.

This ended up coming out pretty tasty, despite my mistake of overcooking by having judged the doneness of the bread by the appearance of it's top after it had been cooked ont rapid bake cycle (I didn't have a quick bake setting). I set it to bake for another hour in my machine. The top was still pale in color, but I checked for doneness with a knife. Came out clean so I decided to further inspect it by. Aaaah! There was my beautiful cinnamon color! It tasted very good too. I had added 1 tsp cinnamon and 1 tsp vanilla used 3 bananas. I think it would have come out more moist had I not cooked it the additional hour. Also, next time I will make sure to use overripe bananas.

This recipe was wonderful. I used 2 bananas instead of the 2/3 cup it calls for. I also added 1 tsp of cinnamon and 1 tsp of vanilla. It came out very moist, and it had lots of flavor.

This bread was really delicious in the bread machine. I tried 1lb first for testing, but there was not enough to go around because everyone loved it, so I ran out to get more bananas and will be doubling the recipe this time. I didn't premix the ingredients as stated, I just mashed the bananas before putting them in, then placed all the ingredients as listed in my machine and it came out great. Also I added raisins instead of walnuts, but I'll try the walnuts next time. Very yummy.

Well, I was a little worried because I've had my bread machine for several years and it does not have a cake cycle. It does however have a 3 hour "Bake Rapid" cycle, which is what I used and this bread turned out BEAUTIFUL. It smelled wonderful and had a nice brown coloring. I dropped it out of the pan and let in cool for about 20 minutes before I sealed it up. It looked so moist this morning and tasted amazing.

Delicious. My breadmaker didn't have a quick setting, so i manually set it to mix for 5 minutes (in addition to the manual mixing i did), and bake for 80 minutes. It came out good, but the sides were a tad brown - next time i will try 75 minutes. I also added 1 tsp cinnamon and 1 tsp vanilla extract, and used slightly less than a cup of sugar -- one cup just seemed too much.

Perfect! I made quite a few changes and it turned out GREAT!! I used kamut flour instead of wheat, egg subsitute, brown sugar instead of white, and olive oil instead of margarine. Once out of the bread machine, I put it in my oven at 350 for another 10 minutes. Beautiful flavour!
