This recipe was a "hit" with my family! Delicious and Moist-I loved the idea of adding the cinnamon and sugar to the pan after greasing, and to the top of the batter before baking. I will be baking again for fundraisers and family gifts. I also tried the both the dark and the shiny aluminum pans. The shiny won me over for best results-the dark baked a bit too fast for me and was not as moist but still Delicious!.

Perfected in every way. I have made this recipe so many times and it always comes out the same way. Ive given this bread wrapped in plastic wrap with a ribbon tied around it with a bible verse attatched. Great scripture bread or just to eat at home or anywhere. Ships great sent some to reletives for thanksgiving this year. I also tried to put instead of nuts, chocolate chips. Turned out fantastically. Also before baking i sprinkled cinnamon and sugar because i had extra and it came out with an excellent crisp brown top with a moist inside. Perfect recipe in every way. Thanks so much!

AMAZING! Can also be cut down easily to 1-3 loaves. I substitute half whole wheat flour, and it still tastes yum. Also, to add healthy points, I add a sugar/butter streusel topping. This is my favorite banana bread recipe that I have tried so far.

This bread really is moist and delicious! We tweak it by adding blueberries (we use frozen) and it comes out even more moist and flavorful. We make it every Christmas and our family friends rave about it. Thank you!

This is very moist banana bread. I was taking this to a Christmas brunch and wanted something festive, so I made the following modifications. I added a jar of marachino cherries that I halved, and a can of pineapple tidbits that I squeezed most of the juice out of. I also added roasted pistachios, but I won't do that again; they turned soft. I also used fat-free sour cream and it worked just fine. This took a long time to bake -- about 1-1/2 hours, and it didn't rise much (i.e., it didn't have a domed top). To serve, I sliced the loaf down the center length-wise, then turned to slice cross-wise. This made nice individual pieces that I put on a Christmas tree-shaped tray. I decorated with maraschino cherries to look like ornaments and put a star-shaped cookie on top. It was colorful and very tasty. My family can't wait for me to make this again. Thanks Esther!

Maybe because I am in the high altitude mine came out a bit chewy. Any suggestions for next time? Smells heavenly though.

My husband went to the store and bought me more bananas so that I could make this again. So needless to say, he loved it as well as the rest of us did. Thanks for submitting

So moist, full of banana flavor and delicious. I used half brown/half granulated sugar and half cake flour/half all purpose for a lighter touch. This is one I will be making again and again. It would be excellent with streusel topping or drizzled with cream cheese icing.

Award Winning! I made this bread using the exact recipe - minus the nuts - and entered it in a quick bread baking contest at work. I won first prize. I would say winning a baking contest with this recipe is the highest praise you can offer. Thanks for providing such a wonderful recipe!

This is a wonderful banana bread! I made 8 mini-loaves in 325 degree oven for 45 minutes. They turned out beautiful with the cinnamon crumbs that I made: 1/3 C brown sugar, 3 Tbs all-purpose flour; 1 tsp ground cinnamon; 1/2 C walnuts; and 1 1/2 Tbs butter. I will definitely make this again!

Wonderful! I made this for a EcoPeace event at my college, so I lowered the sugar to 2 cups, and added some wheat germ to the mixture used to flour the pans, as well as to the mix itself. I used all whole wheat flour, and added a half tsp. of each to the mix: ground cloves, ginger, allspice, nutmeg. drizzled with vanilla glaze. looked and tasted lovely. thanks for the recipe! will make again!
