This quick bread recipe is superb! Very moist and tasty. I made a couple of modifications (per other reviewers); i.e. substituting 1 cup white whole wheat flour and the rest all-purpose flour, doubled the bananas (very ripe, organic), 1 cup frozen blueberries, 1/4 c. sugar, 1/2 cup butter, and 1 tsp vanilla. The sweetness of the bananas more than made up for the reduced sugar. This one will be made over and over again!

Good bread. Definitely need to add additional blueberries if using frozen. I would also add an extra banana next time for more moisture.

I baked this in a 9x5 pan and all the comments about this bread taking longer than 55 minutes to cook are correct. Maybe this is better as a muffin mix with a quicker cooking time. It might turn out moister that way. Thanks!

I was a little concerned with the batter after making the shorening and sugar so fluffy, but it is REALLY GOOD! I thought that this was an excellent bread. I have had many many rave reviews with it.

I made a few adaptations. I used 1/2 c applesauce instead of shortening. I added 3/4 tsp vanilla and 3/4 tsp cinnamon. I also used 1 cup frozen blueberries (not thawed). Once the batter was ready, I made 16 muffins which I cooked for 20 minutes. I still had some batter left over, so I added 2 fresh lilikoi (passionfruit) and 1/2 c walnuts. Then I baked this new concoction in a small square cake pan for about 28 minutes. I know the lilikoi variety came out DELICIOUS because I tried it. The muffins disappeared before I had a chance to try them, but I got a "thumbs up" when I asked how they were- since they disappeared overnight by my boyfriend, I'd have to say they were probably quite tasty. The recipe was easy and I will use it again. Thanks!

This bread doesn't last a day in my family. Everyone loves it even the one daughter that doesn't care for blueberries eats it. I always double this recipe.

This recipe is really delicious. I didn't have pacans so I used almonds and cashews, as well as added vanilla (it makes the world go round). To finish is sprinkled the top before baking with sugar. It gives it a bakery feel. Yum!

Moist, delicious & easy. I didn't use any pecan so I increased the oats. I don't like sugar sweet stuff so I used only 1/4 cup of sugar & 1 cup of frozen blueberries. I used sunflower oil instead of shortening, and sprinkled chopped almond on top prior to baking. Turned out great, hubby loves it! Thank you for the recipe - this one's a keeper.

I made muffins and they were great! Replaced half of flour with whole wheat flour and replaced half of shortening with applesauce! They turned out so good, my husband couldn't stop eating them!

Yummy! I just made a few changes. Added 1/2 cup white sugar and 1/2 cup brown sugar. Also added 1/2 tsp cinnamon and 1/2 tsp nutmeg. Instead of vanilla I added 1 tsp almond extract. It gave it a lovely almond flavor that complemented the banana nicely. I also added 1 cup of blueberries. Delicious!

I thought this came out with almost no flavor. The blueberries and bananas somehow trumped each other. It was quite moist but something is missing.

Very yummy, made 3 2" high loaves which I froze. That way it's less of a temptation for hubby & I to finish off one large loaf over a weekend! Added a little cinnamon & vanilla as prev. reviewers suggested, used fresh picked blueberries. Looking forward to making it this winter whenever I have overripe bananas in the house, and my frozen fresh-picked blueberries in the freezer!

Very good! I made a few changes though...cut the shortening to 1/4 cup and used 2 extra bananas (which made it 5 bananas in total). That made it lower in fat but it didn't taste like a "lowfat" loaf. I also used toasted slivered almonds which were very good. Will make this again!

This was really, really good and moist. Unfortunately, I didn't have nuts on hand but added a little extra oatmeal. I'll try applesauce in place of shortening next time as other reviewers have done.
