Yummi!!!! I've never made banana bread before, after this one I'll be making it over and over again. The changes i made were because I didn't wanted to go to the store and used what i had. I used baking powder instead of baking soda (double the amount), also used plain yogurth instead of sour cream and mashed the bananas. Awsome taste and very moist... Hubby said it deserved five stars.

Absolutely delicious! This is my first attempt at banana bread and I am thankful to have found this one. I used room temp margarine instead of melted butter and baked in a 9" square pan for 30 minutes. TRY THIS RECIPE, YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT!!

I make this all the time- I love it, and everyone else does too! I use 1/2 a cup brown sugar, 1/2 cup white, but that's just my personal taste preference. And I mash the bananas. Really, if you're looking for a banana bread recipe, this is it!

I've made this recipe twice so far and each time it turned out great! I always substitute Smart Balance Oil for the butter, increase bananas to 3, use 1/3 cup brown sugar, 2/3 cup white sugar add 1/4 tsp cinnamon, 1/4 tsp nutmeg, 1/2 cup pecans(sub for walnuts), and then top it with wheat germ and more pecans. Amazing!

I FORGOT the sour cream!!! Didn't realize it until it was baking and I couldn't believe it. Know what? That bread was AWESOME. I saved a million calories and it was STILL awesome. Some added additional cinnamon and nutmeg, but I'm a banana bread purist and I really don't like anything messing with the banana flavor, so only add it if that's important to you. I did mash the bananas and made it to one cup - used soft butter (melt? what's THAT about?) and the flour mix was added last only because it's habit with me. We loved this recipe!

I made this recipe as written except that I mashed the bananas and used pecans instead of walnuts (a personal preference). It is absolutely wonderful! My whole family loved it. It will be my go to banana bread recipe from now on.

This bread is indeed great. I followed other suggestions and mashed the bananas. The only changes I made were: 1/2 cup brown sugar and 1/2 white cup sugar, instead of 1 cup sugar. Added 1/4 cup Heath toffee bits which complemented the bananas, and increased the walnuts to one cup. I will definately use this recipe again and again.

I substituted 3/4 cup honey for the sugar to make it healthier, increased flour by 1/2 cup due to added liquids, and used vanilla non fat yogurt. I mashed 3 bananas and left 5 minutes more in oven Result: I wouldn't recommend these alterations. It was dry, crumbly and dark. Little banana flavor detected. I think the problem was the honey substitute. I'm not an experienced baker.

DELICIOUS! I did a couple modifications - used margarine, and I had to melt it a little due to time constraints. I also added 1 tsp lemon juice to the vanilla (couldn't taste it though). I used peach yogurt instead of sour cream (it's what I had), used 3/4 cup of white sugar and 1/4 cup brown sugar, and added 1 tsp baking powder, with no nuts - and mashed the bananas. Turned out GREAT!

This is by far the best banana bread i have both tasted and produced. All though I mashed the bananas as was suggested in a couple of reviews. This recipe deserves it's place in my best recipe book.

This is a great banana bread recipe. Delicious, moist and recipe was easy to follow. However, maybe it's my oven (7 yrs old) but when baked at 350, the bottom of bread was still not fully cooked, but deep brown on the outside. I may have to lower oven temp and bake for 60 minutes. Adding chopped bananas definitely helped the bread have a concentrated banana taste (just how I like it).

Love the simplicity of this recipe and the fact it is absolutely moist and delicious. Only changes I made was using 3 large bananas that I whipped with mixer and being a little more generous with the vanilla. Was great baked in muffin tins with choc. chips! Will use recipe again and again.

VERY DELICIOUS! Nice and moist. Like others have said, I mashed my bananas. However, I think I will try slicing them next time because I'm never able to get that distinct banana taste. Will review again later.

Delicious banana bread! I followed naples 34102's suggestions and used 1/2 brown sugar and 1/2 white. I left out the walnuts for my husband, but next time I'm putting them in for me! I think this would even be good substituting chocolate chips for the walnuts.
