This is a nice banana bread. I only gave it 4 stars as I found it abit lacking in banana flavor and I even used a half cup more banana then the recipe called for. I added 1tsp each of nutmeg and cinnamon and 1/2 cup of half & half cream and I also used 1-1/4 cup all purpose flour and 1 cup whole wheat flour. I'm sure I'll use this recipe again and maybe add some more banana.

This bread was so moist and easy to make. I will bake it just a little less time next time because it got a little dark but other than that it was perfect!

I love banana bread and wanted to create my own special twist on this classic, so I used 1/2 cup white and 1/2 cup brown sugars, 1/2 cup chopped walnuts and about 2 tsp cinnamon. My loaf came out a wonderfully golden chestnut color from the brown sugar and cinnamon and tasted great. Delicious served warm with vanilla ice cream!

This banana bread turned out great! I have never made prettier banana bread. I added an extra banana, a tsp. of vanilla and chopped walnuts. I also took the advice of one reviewer and sprinkled brown sugar on top of the batter in order to create a crispy top. This bread was so moist and delicious.

Lovely bread, I also added white chocolate chips to this recipe, 3/4 cup. I reduced the heat to 300 degrees after the hour and cooked for a further 25 minutes. I then took other advise and kept the bread wrapped in foil for an hour before serving. It keeps the bread lovely and moist.

I wouldn't change a thing except I added 1/2 cup of walnuts. This was one of the most moist breads I have ever made. Thanks.

I made this last night and it was a big hit with my husband and very picky 3 year old son! I decreased the sugar to 3/4 cup. It turned out wonderfully. Thanks for sharing this recipe, Janine.

I've made this twice in two days! My family scarfs it up! The first time I added THREE bananas and they loved it. The second time I added all FIVE old bananas in my kitchen and it was even better!

Addictive! It was light and fluffy, unlike the many dense banana bread recipes I've tried. I used 3 large pretty rotten bananas. Since my bananas were so ripe, I reduced the sugar to 3/4 cup (actually I used sucanat). I also used 2 tb. applesauce and 2 tb. butter instead of the full 1/4 c butter. I baked the bread in a 9x13 pan and served it topped with whipped cream and it was such a yummy but simple dessert! Thanks Janine!

If you use 2 and 1/3 cups of bananas it should turn out moist!

I have such a horrible time getting my banana bread to bake thru the whole way without burning the outside but this was the first one that turned out great. it was a little bland, but maybe i just didnt use enough bananas. will make again, with more.

The BEST banana bread! Added an extra egg, made the sugar half brown, half white, and greased the pan with butter and the bread was delicious! I should also say I only used two bananas and added the extra egg and a tsp. of vanilla to compensate. Made a delicious loaf of bread!
