This was delicious - the family raved on Mother's Day! I doubled and made in a 9x13 pan, baking 50 minutes. My only change was using 3 egg whites rather than whole eggs. Will make again & will eat with coffee next time! Was delicious with milk!

I love banana bread, so I fully expected to enjoy this cake. But... it really just wasn't that great. I found it to be on the dry side, and didn't care for the addition of the oats (although the banana oat bread from this site is delicious). So, I guess that I will stick to making breads from my over ripe bananas.

the only reason this is a 4 star is because I dont like banana bread, although this version of banana bread was much less tough than others I have tried.

I chose this recipe because I wanted something that was more like a snack cake or banana bread than a typical 2-layer risen cake. I followed the recipe exactly, down to making sure the ingredients were scraped evenly across the top of measuring cups and spoons. My baking powder was not out of date. I sifted the flour. I live at sea level so I should not have to adjust the recipe as I used to have to do when I lived at 6,000 ft. I expected this to be dense but moist only it was hard and dry. I checked the cake at 35 min and it wasn't done so I gave it 5 more minutes (it was then done) and took it out. It was not overly brown on the bottom or sides so I know it didn't overcook. Cooled it on a rack. Luckily I didn't make this for guests because I'm a really good cook and I would have been embarrassed. Am glad it was only a 8x8 size and not 13x9. My family isn't even eating it. Wish I could give it the same reviews as others.

This was a hit! I've been itching to make this for a week and finally got to make it! Awesome! Guests gobbled this up! This baked for 30 mins.. glad I was watching! I didn't make the crumb topping, as I wanted frosting. I found "banana butter icing" recipe on this site which paired perfect for me.

Wonderful flavor and very moist. I chopped the nuts but forgot to add to topping but was great anyway. I baked a little less time because I used a dark pan and it began to get to brown. Will make again for sure. I liked the fact it was only 8X8.

I always try the recipe as written first, and this one didn't disappoint -the cake was very moist, and very tasty. Next time I make this I might add some walnuts to the cake & maybe a teensy bit more spice to the topping, but that's just me -it's very good as it is. Thank you for sharing!

Yummy banana cake! I added 1-1/2 or 2 tablespoons of flour to the topping, more cinnamon and about 1 tablespoon of canola oil. I patted the topping down lightly. For the cake, I followed the directions, only I don't mash the bananas, just drop the chunks of banana into cake batter, beat it in my stand mixer. I used 3 bananas, didn't measure them. Good flavor. Next time I will make it with quick oats.

I just made this for my family and it was delicious and so, so moist with a nice crunchy topping. My husband actually likes to scrape the pan and leaves no crumblies behind. Had to cook longer since I used a glass pyrex instead of cake pan but turned out great.
