WOW!!! This is soooo good!!! I just got done making this and it is fabulous--my husband even said it's better than his mom's. The only change I made was mashing the bananas and adding some cinnamon, nutmeg, and ground cloves. I also dusted the pan and top of the loaf with cinnamon and sugar. Thanks for the recipe!!

This banana bread was delicious and moist! I left out the nuts (or else my daughter wouldn't eat it) and mashed (not sliced) three bananas instead of two. It was a hit with the whole family! Can't wait to have overripe bananas to use up again!

This was a decent bread recipe, but nothing too special. I wish it would have been a little more dense and had just a bit more banana flavor (I used 2 medium-large overripe bananas). I made 2 loaves & topped the 2nd with the banana crumb muffin topping (found on this site)& it helped out the bread. However, I think I will still stick with my mom's bread recipe.

Moist and delicious!! Based on other reviewer's suggestions, I made the following changes: used room temperature butter, which I hand-mixed w/the sugars. I used 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1/2 cup white sugar. I added 3/4 teaspoon to the flour mixture, as well as a 1/4 teaspoon of nutmeg. I used mashed bananas (3) rather than chopped bananas. I didn't have a loaf pan, so I ended up using 2 muffin tins. Baked @ 350 degrees, for 20 mins.

This is by far the best banana nut bread I've ever had. Really moist. I also mashed the bananas instead of slicing them. My family raved over this recipe. I sprinkled cinnamon in the bottom of the loaf pan, as another reviewer suggested, and it made it perfect !

This banana bread is wonderfully moist. It is hands down the best banana bread I have ever eaten. I did follow a few reviewers suggestions by mashing up the bananas first and cutting the white sugar down by a handful and adding a handful of brown sugar. This is a must try!!!!!

I love this recipe! I made it the other morning for my coworkers and it turned out to be the best ever! I did some adjustments, however... I mashed the bananas (used three very ripe ones) and a little extra vanilla. Once I poured the batter into the pan, I added a streusel topping made with brown sugar, flour, oats, cinnamon and butter. This gave it a crunch topping and the oats added some very yummy flavors. The girls at work said this was the best banana bread they had ever eaten! Even my macaw (who is a banana connoisseur!) loved it. I will definitely use this recipe again and again!

This was a great recipe for banana bread! I didn't have walnuts or vanilla extract on hand, so I omitted the walnuts and added cinnamon in place of the vanilla extract. Good result - my loaf pan was a bit smaller than 9x5, so my banana bread ended up darker on the outside but so far, its a hit! We'll see how long it lasts once my roommates get home!

This recipe is just about perfect just the way it is presented. I added more walnuts than called for, almost a full cup, as that's my personal taste. I also like chocolate chips in my banana bread, but I couldn't talk my mother into it!

I just made this, and all I can say is "wow!" Just like the other reviews I mashed the bananas, but made no other changes.

Great banana bread recipe! Very easy to just be able to mix everything together. I did mash the bananas instead of slicing and omitted the nuts as I don't like them.

So delicious! I don't usually like banana bread but this recipes made me love it. I agree with other reviews that mashed bananas is the better way to go.

This is super moist banana bread. We deleted the nuts just because of personal preference. This will be a new 'go to' banana bread recipe for me now!
