Wonderful flavor and very easy. I used melted butter for ease in mixing, and added l tsp vanilla. The recipe makes 2 mini loafs. As suggested by others I lowered the oven temperature to 325 and baked them for 45 minutes uncovered. The outside was crunchy and the inside moist. Watch carefully, you don't want to overbake. Thanks so much for sharing.

super easy, ingredients I had on hand, super yummy!!! I did bake it at 325, as recommended by some others. The mini loaf pans took ~45 minutes and the large pans took 1 hour.

Substituted 2 tsp honey for 25g of the sugar and added some cinnamon. Took longer to cook than indicated, but was totally delicious.

I'd been craving some good banana bread for a few weeks, and had some nice ripe bananas in the fruit bowl, so I made this recipe tonight. It was delicious! Exactly what I was hoping for. I enjoyed it with a mug of hot chocolate. Yum, yum. Thanks so much!

Very good! Nice crust and moist center. Like others, I've found that it browns a little too quickly so I've decresed the baking temp to 325 and cover it with foil for part of the time.

Will be my go-to banana bread. So simple and yummy. I doubled recipe, using 3 bananas I had in freezer (thawed) and 3 greenish ones. (I like that underripe taste).

Delicious! Very rich tasting. Also, very simple. Has a very banana-ey flavor. The only thing I addded was a litle bit of vanilla. I also turned the temperature down to 300 after 30 minutes, then baked it another 50 on that temperature with a sheet of foil over the top (it was getting pretty brown, but then, my oven is hot). I checked it about every 15 minutes Definitely a must have for the recipe box. :) Thanks a lot!

I had absolutley no experience baking anything ever, and I was a success on the first try! It was a little bit over-cooked so now I put the oven on 300 for the last 30 mins every time and its perfect! My husband thinks im a hero! thanks!!!!!

I followed the recipe exactly as written.. and it was great. Though I think next time I will use some brown sugar and maybe some walnuts and one more banana... just to tweak it some. But I will definitely make it again.

This recipe tastes awesome- I could not get the middle of the bread to bake completely though; I think it is my fault because I added an extra banana, so do not do that! Otherwise, the rest of the bread is fantastic. I will make it again.

Very good. I made some adjustments to my liking. Half white sugar/ half brown sugar. One teaspoon of cinnamon, one large handful of chopped walnuts. Once the ingredients are in the pan and ready to bake I sprinkle cinnamon on the top. My husband who has claimed not a fan of banana bread has changed his mind once I have made this recipe. Thanks a bunch! Janine S.

This loaf was very dense and had good banana flavor. It tasted like it had much more fat in it that what it has, but that was a good thing. I used half brown sugar and half white and added an extra banana because I had it. People at work inhaled it.

I thought it was great... The only thing I did different was put a couple crumbled walnuts on top... I also used to make a banana bread french toast recipe I found here the next morning. It was a hit with the guests!

I've made this recipe tons of times, often with small variations (adding chocolate chips, nuts, or lemon essence) according to the season. Always a big hit. Goes well with vanilla ice cream.

This came out so beautiful. Unfortunately since I gave it as a house warming gift, I was unable to taste it, but it sure did look good. I added a topping of flour, brown sugar, butter and cinnamon to it. I want to make it again for us now!

I bake a lot of banana breads and this is one of the best ones. I did add a tsp of baking power to the recipe. It turned out moist, delicous and looks great.
