Best Ever Banana Bread

SUBMITTED BY: Rose      PHOTO BY: Ace

"This really is the best banana bread I have ever tasted. Very moist and it freezes well. I also bake this in 3 small loaf pans however you may need to shorten the baking time."

Thanks, Rose, for a wonderful recipe. I have made this bread several times and it is definitely a favorite. For a simple topping, mix together 2 TBLS. each finely chopped nuts and granulated sugar with 1/2 tsp. cinnamon and a generous dash of nutmeg. Sprinkle on batter before baking and press lightly with the back of a spoon. This topping gives the bread a sweet crunch ~ delicious!! Thanks, again, for sharing!!!!!!!

My kids are just getting over some tummy trouble and I wanted to make them a special treat. I did alter this quite a bit because it's such a good base for banana bread. I used whole wheat flour instead of all purpose and added about half a can of pumpkin and some spices...cinnamon, nutmeg and allspice. I also added a big spoonful of sour cream and decreased the sugar to about 3/4 of a cup. I added a splash of vanilla extract to the egg mixture. I baked these in miniature muffin tins and got about 48 mini banana muffins. You wouldn't believe how moist these came out. My kiddos would definitely prefer this over a "loaf". Thanks so much Rose.

This banana bread lives up to its name as "best banana bread". It freezes perfectly and tasted just as good a week later as when I had just baked it. When I greased the loaf pan, I dusted the pan with sugar. This gave it a crunchy crust with a moist interior. Try this recipe! You won't be disappointed!
